The Model Baseline Documentation Acknowledgment helps ensure that baseline documentation materials are properly identified and certified for optimal long-term legal effect, regardless of how they are captured, formatted, or compiled. It does not suggest or prescribe practices for the collection, preparation, compilation, or formatting of baseline documentation or its constituent materials.(Note that the guide Baseline Documentation explains the core purposes and potential secondary functions of baseline documentation, and identifies, in turn, material that is generally necessary, potentially (but not necessarily) useful, and generally inadvisable to include.)
