the archival community that will inform ongoing work on the Records in
Contexts (RiC) Application Guidelines (RiC-AG). If you are a current or

superseded or adjacent standard, or are otherwise invested in this work,
please take a few moments to share with us how the AG may support you in
your archival work.*
*This survey closes on May 19, 2024. *

<https://forms.gle/NDvi59J2RcsSfFzx5>Why User Stories?User stories are a
user-centered way of expressing a functional need in succinct,
non-technical language. They follow the pattern persona + need + purpose:
“as a [persona], I want to [...], so that [...].”User stories can help us
capture in just a few words in what capacity you are reporting a need, what
you are trying to do, and what you are trying to accomplish with that task.
They are a highly actionable format that requires only a moment's time from
you.Please share as many stories from your daily practice as you would
like. Please use English for your responses. Many thanks for taking the
time to let EGAD know where guidance or clarification is most needed!*

*You can also learn more about RiC at:*

   - *Records in Contexts - Foundations of Archival Description
   <https://www.ica.org/resource/records-in-contexts-foundations-of-archival-description/>*
   - *Records in Contexts - Conceptual Model
   <https://www.ica.org/resource/records-in-contexts-conceptual-model/>*
   - *Records in Contexts - Ontology
   <https://www.ica.org/resource/records-in-contexts-ontology/>*

Even if all you can submit is "I'm not ready for RiC yet" this will be
valuable feedback to EGAD.

Take care all,
Kelli
