I don't know how relevant these two products are to establishing a data
format standard. The NARA recordkeeping requirements page is a resource for
helping US Federal government agencies identify what records they should
create and how these records should be managed. The DoD Standard is for
assesing the suitability of software products for recordkeeping and records
management purposes.
