Ah, well, in worst case it will be simple to add a feature of "after x years this and that property of such object shall be set to xxxx)"!

There are specific requirements about destroying data you have gathered after a certain length of time. I just wish I knew more about them so I could make sure I was building them into my systems.

Actually what I suggest handles any Data Protection Act better than the legacy method of documenting the events as those are focused on the actor (often human) and what he "does". Object driven is focusing on the object of interest for the organisation, (almost) never a human. Even in a hospital the objects of interest are virtual objects like conditions, in service organisations issues and so forth. Thus the capture of data will be limited to who and when somebody interacted with the object of interest. And that cannot ever be limited by such laws as it would counter a very basic part of society - accountability! So not only better (I argue) re. Data Protection Act but also SOX, Basel II etc etc compliant per design ;) Mike, aha!
