In this frame, an important part of the targets determined on the activity plan of information society strategy has been realized. However, there are difficulties in structuring of electronic records management system, which is within the e-state components. Considering the OECD indicators, deficiencies in applications which will provide information and service sharing between citizen and institution and inter institutions attract attention. It can be possible that the institutions open their records and services to public on a national portal in the frame of the standards and the laws forming the background of e-record management. Furthermore, there is a need for a national policy which should watch how the adaptation to the mentioned standards and laws realizes and should guide the institutions in this way. This study aims at exposing the principles of national records management and directing the forming of a policy that will give speed and function to the integrated state structuring in the public.
