Abstract
Both domestic and overseas archives provide various forms of outreach services including exhibitions, educations, and publications for extended users. In addition, the publication program is portable and has excellent effects within its scope. Providing various and useful information about archives is significant because they can be important resources for historical research and provide good guidelines for archival users. This study investigated the current status of the publication programs, types of publications, the publishing organizations, and publication process managed by both the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the National Archives of Korea (NAK). Based on the comparison of the publishing programs of the two archives, the study analyzed the limitations of the publication program of NAK and gave suggestions for its improvement.
Abstract
The size and speed of archives and records information have recently increased. The purpose of this study is to find the direction of archives management research in Korea through an in-depth analysis of research trends in records management in the country. We collected articles related to archives management from 1997 to 2016 from two journals related to archives management and four journals related to library and information science in Korea. The collected articles from the first and second halves of the decade were subjected to five-year cycle analysis. As a result, research on electronic records, record information services, and archiving methods of various records has been gradually improved.
Abstract
As the teaching environment of schools has significantly shifted toward using various types of educational contents, the need for the use of educational contents as class resources has increased. Having an archive is an effective way of organizing information that can provide various educational contents. The National Archives (TNA) of the UK has been actively producing and providing educational contents for teachers and students for a long time. The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the detailed examples and structure of the contents, the process of producing educational contents, and the methods of providing various contents of the TNA, which systematically provides diverse educational contents. It intended to help archivists discover the educational values of archives in providing users with various types of educational contents. Then, the study compared the analysis results with the National Archives of Korea and suggested for its improvement, as well as that of other archives in the country.
Abstract
The system for reporting record production has been operated to collect and transfer the public records adequately since the enactment of the Public Records Management Act in 1999. The Act, which was revised in 2007, regulates automated reporting methods in which the production reporting files are generated in the records creation systems and transferred to the records management systems. However, only one type of record is being notified electronically among seven types, which should be notified under the Act. The remaining six types of records are laboriously reported using complicated templates. Furthermore, the current working electronic notification mechanism is also causing various errors mainly because of inadequate specifications. This study analyzes the causes of failure of the electronic notification through the electronic records systems and suggests some policies for its improvement.
Abstract
The systematic management of research data is vital because it increases research data’s value for research reproduction, verification, and reusability. Standard metadata will play a key role in research data registration, management, and data extraction. Research data has various structural relationships, such as research, research data, data sets, and files, and associated with entities such as citations and research results. The study proposes an ontology model for research data management. It also suggests the application of ontology to NTIS. Previous studies, metadata standard analyses, and research data repository case studies were conducted.
Abstract
It is time to prepare for the imminent development from the field of records management through decentralization to the records management of the new age in accordance with the flow of decentralization. To overcome a centralized record management system, more archives should be established to realize autonomous and decentralized records management. In accordance with the shift to a full-scale electronic record management environment, the appropriateness and effectiveness of the three-phase system of processing–archival–permanent record management based on physical transfer should be reviewed in terms of transfer cost and work efficiency. The archives should function as institutional archives to carry out the continuous volume record management and the autonomous record management at the institution level. This study examined the possibilities and implications of the archives to expand their functions as archives of institutions for the decentralization of record management and information governance orientation. In addition, the study diversified the types of records management institutions as a way to accomplish this and determined a way to design the functions of archives that integrate the current-end-end-end records management. At each level, institutions should set up archives based on their circumstances and aim at information governance at the level of each archive. Moreover, each archive level should establish a horizontal network to govern record information management.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish a classification system for the records of the Association for the Bereaved Families of the Hampyeong Massacre Victims. The content of the records is accordingly implemented through a functional source principle, and a classification table is presented in such a way that it reflects the characteristics by type and by production period so that the records can be used effectively. DIRKS, a methodology for the development of the functional classification system, is used to conduct a functional analysis of Hampyeong massacre victims’ families to derive a task classification table that leads to task function–work activity-handling actions. The category is determined by taking into consideration the type and nature of the time of the production of the records of the Hampyeong massacre victims’ families. The records are mapped according to the function classification system, which corresponds to the task classification table, and the multicategory system that drafts the type and period, which is used to classify the functions. The medical institution introduces a system for classifying records into task subjects, task activities, handling actions, types, and period.
Abstract
This study examined the characteristics of the records produced by the National Election Commission, which is designated as a constitutional institution in Korea, and derived problems by analyzing the status of its records management. This paper suggests improvement plans based on the findings. First, it investigated records and their features since the National Election Commission has been in service. The differences between works in the field and legislation were analyzed through literature surveys and staff interviews. The improvement plans were presented in terms of systems, facilities, human resources, and services. In particular, this study suggests focusing on the production of a large amount of the same records of the National Election Commission.
