A DBMS (Database Management System) and an RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) are software systems designed to create, store, retrieve, and manage data in a structured manner. The data stored within these systems constitute an organization's official records. The various outputs and system components, such as logs, reports, data dictionaries, and database schemas, are considered artifacts. These systems provide the technological foundation for the "recording and reporting" activities mandated by management system standards like ISO 31000, ensuring that evidence of processes and decisions is captured and maintained.

A. RBPS (Risk-Based Process Safety) and RBDM (Risk-Based Decision Making) are management processes or frameworks, not the technological systems that directly create and store records.

C. TDMS (Test Data Management System) and VSMS (Vendor Security Management System) are highly specialized systems; DBMS/RDBMS are the more fundamental and universal technologies for record-keeping.

D. MOS (Management Operating System) and SMOS (Safety Management Operating System) are conceptual frameworks for management, which would utilize other systems to generate their required artifacts and records.

Page 5, Section 1.2: Defines a database as a collection of related data and a DBMS as a "computerized system that enables users to create and maintain a database." The data itself represents records, and the system's metadata (catalog/dictionary) and logs are artifacts of its operation.

2. ISO 15489-1:2016, Information and documentation — Records management — Part 1: Concepts and principles.

Section 3.15: Defines a record as "information created, received, and maintained as evidence and as an asset by an organization...".

Section 8.3.2: Discusses designing and implementing systems for records, stating that "Business systems, including business applications... should be designed... to create and manage authoritative records." DBMS and RDBMS are the core technologies for such business systems.

Lecture 1 Notes: Typically describe a DBMS as a software package designed to store and manage databases. The course explains how these systems manage data (records) and generate logs, schemas, and other outputs (artifacts) essential for data integrity and auditing. The system's function is explicitly the management of records.
