opslageven

Opslageven is a term used in discussions of information governance and digital archiving to describe a standardized approach to the handling of notices and postings within organizational information systems. In this context, a notice is any publicly displayed or internally disseminated message such as event announcements, policy updates, or meeting schedules. The concept outlines how such notices should be created, stored, displayed, and preserved over time, with an emphasis on accessibility and accountability.

Key elements include metadata standards (title, author, creation date, expiration date, audience), version control to capture edits, an audit log of views and changes, and retention rules that govern when records are archived or deleted. The approach also specifies display rules for visibility, searchability, and long-term readability, including formats, encoding, and fallback mechanisms for obsolete systems. While described in academic and professional discussions, opslageven is not an official standard and is used as a conceptual model.

In practice, opslageven is proposed as a model for municipal, corporate, and educational information systems to improve transparency and reduce information loss. It is described as a flexible framework rather than a rigid standard, allowing organizations to tailor retention periods and access controls to their legal and operational requirements.
