Abstract(s)
This paper presents recent developments in Portuguese local archives’ classification policies. Following several
professional workgroups and reinforced with a political mandate, local administration archives are putting
in practice a new knowledge organization approach through the development of a national Classification Plan
for Local Administration (CPLA). New archival legislation is ready to be officialy published and its impact is
expected to largely modify administration practices. The main objective of the study is to discuss the
knowledge organization solutions embedded in the creation of CPLA. To achieve this goal, a literature review
was performed, together with a project management approach, exploring a qualitative analysis of the problems
and the solutions found during CPLA’s design. The Functional Macrostructure for Public Administration information
is the main framework for the development of CPLA, and contributes to the emergence of a new
paradigm in Information Management. Such paradigm intersects functions with business processes, transversally
and supra-institutionally, and considers the different public administration bodies as open systems. As
an outcome, the public administration and, in particular, the archival community receive a new standardized
information management tool that serves the classification, appraisal and selection of archival information.
