More BS from the BS factory ...

BS 10008 .. thats a lot of BS.

Seriously its about time we started to define standards and regulations with respect to data preservation, retention and retrieval here in the UK.

Hopefully it will lead to some innovation and UK based IP.

BSI vs HMG #

Can we have a rule brought in that says before BSI tells us how to store data - for whatever purpose - the Government has to go through a year without leaving stuff on trains, losing it with couriers, or just generally making stuff up?
