This study analyzed the meanings and other details of the provisions in line with the free use of public works introduced through the Copyright Act of Korea in Dec. 2013 in the aspect of archival information services and indicated the limitations as follows. First, not all institutions shall follow the provisions because it does not cover all institutions under the Law of Records Management in Korea. Second, even though most of works made for hire in state institutions, local governments, and public institutions are not yet made public, to enable a work to be made public is a requisite for public works to be used for free. This is to limit the scope of public works. To solve the problems, this study suggested the revision directions of the Copyright Act of Korea that every school, which creates works made for hire, are covered in the institutions that enable the free use of works and change the requisite to make a work public for the disclosure the information. This study also suggested that the element for copyright information shall be created in the records schedule for public institutions and metadata standard for records management. The copyright information shall also be described when the records are registered.
BRM (Business Reference Model, hereinafter referred to as BRM) has been introduced with the objective to improve task-related information sharing among organizations, task processing speed, efficiency of organization management, and administrative services. Furthermore, a Records Management Reference Table, which is a business-based records management system, has been put in to operation. However, it is necessary to reidentify if the BRM is put into use according to its initial objectives and purposes after 10 years of its introduction based on the pending problems and matters of improvement. Therefore, in this study, the necessity for business transaction management has been reviewed based on the problems present in the “business transaction” operation, which is the lowest unit of BRM, and it proposes a business transaction identification plan through a business analysis. As a result, three major points to improve BRM management have been suggested.
