Because archaeological artifacts are often destroyed during physical excavation, the data archaeologists gather in the field is rich with research potential. Few in Korea have paid attention to digital archives for archaeological data or argued for their development. This paper considers the significance and necessity of archaeological data and digital archives for its preservation and access. It also raises awareness of the need to develop a Korean national archaeological data digital archive. The paper first overviews the nature of the archaeological discipline, data, and digital archives. Then it investigates well-known, global cases involving digital archiving of archaeological data. Based on these foundations, the paper discusses principal and prior challenges to developing a Korean national archaeological data digital archive.
The purpose of this study is to examine the management status of domestic presidential SNS records and to propose a management plan. Thus, the researchers examined cases of SNS records management in foreign countries, interviewed records officers in Presidential Archives, as well as conducted a status analysis of the presidential SNS records management status and the SNS accounts of former and current presidents. Based on the analysis, the current state of the domestic and international situations was analyzed. The researchers subsequently interviewed the staff in charge and found out what the problems in the current presidential SNS records management were. To solve the problems reflecting the characteristics of SNS records, a collection, management, and service plan was thus proposed. This study is meaningful in that it tried to discuss the management of the presidential SNS records and could be used as basic research of presidential SNS records.
The purpose of this study is to suggest specific elements for archiving tangible and intangible materials based on popular, administrative, historical, and cultural functions of traditional markets. Related literature was thus reviewed and the cases of Seoul Yangnyeongsi Story Archive, Gwangju Dae-An Yesul Market Archive Project D, and Daegu Bukseong-Ro Gongu Museum were analyzed. Through the literature review, elements of physical environments, social factors, experience, and people were defined as the placeness of traditional markets. Based on the aforementioned, specific elements to archive traditional markets were thus suggested.
Oral history research in Korea began with the effort to find out the truth behind the hidden historical issues that occurred during the mid-1980s. Since then, attempts to record the major issues through contemporary Korean history orally has increased. From the late 2000s, the focus shifted to local and smaller village units. In Busan, from 2009 to 2016, 33 oral history projects from 10 government agencies were conducted. This research was carried out to investigate what kind of oral records has been produced in Busan from the said period and how they are managed. With these findings, possible solutions to preserve and utilize the oral records as the locality archives are suggested.
The need for the records management of administrative information dataset has led to a broad consensus among archivists and has been continuously studied. In the meantime, information technology has greatly advanced, and the development and redevelopment of information management systems have been increasing. Nevertheless, dataset management in information management system has not been practiced in public organizations. This is because it is supposed that no practical management plan exists. From the point of view that practical dataset management methods should be based on the reality of dataset creation and management environment, this study investigates various active datasets in working administrative information systems. The examples and the information drawn from the examination are expected to contribute to dataset management planning. Moreover, the research methods can be utilized in further studies.
This study recognized the public servants of the local governments as the principal users of the records centers. It also attempted to identify their records usage behavior and the requirements of record usage so that records and services that meet their needs as the main users would be met. Therefore, the researchers identified through an information disclosure request the highly ranked departments that use records more than the others based on their usage frequency of the records centers and the standard records management system (standard RMS) during the third quarter of 2017. A questionnaire survey was subsequently conducted to the public servants of the local governments in the metropolitan area. The questionnaire identified the users’ opinion on general usage behavior, usage of standard RMS, and usage of the records center. Based on the survey results, improvements in the management of the records centers the record management system, and the record services of the local governments were suggested.
How do we create a next generation Records Management System? Under a rapidly changing system development environment, the records management system of public institutions has remained stable for the past 10 years. For this reason, it seems to be the key cause of the structural problem of the Records Management System, which makes it difficult to accommodate user requirements and apply a new recording technology. The purpose of this study is to present a redesigned model for a next-generation records management system by analyzing the status of the electronic records management. This study analyzed “A Study on the Redesign of the Next-Generation Electronic Records Management Process,” records management technology of advanced records management system, and a case of an overseas system. Based on the analysis results, the improvement direction of the records management system was analyzed from several aspects: functional, software design, and software distribution. This study thus suggests that the creation of a microservice architecture-based(MSA) and an open source software-oriented (OSS) records management system should be the focus of next-generation record management.
Archival description is considered as a creation and curation process, and the results of the descriptive records can be used for archival information service. Therefore, various archival descriptive standards provide essential guidelines for establishing a semantic and synthetic structure of the archival records. In this study, the structural aspects of the archival descriptive standards were analyzed and an experimental mapping between General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)), the archival standard, and CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM), the domain ontology of cultural heritage field was performed. The data structure of ISAD(G) is examined in advance and mapping was performed using Karma as a platform. It was thus concluded that there is a need to understand the ontology-based mapping method and the event-focused domain ontology. Moreover, developing a CIDOC CRM-compatible archival ontology and restructuring the legacy ISAD(G) are needed.
The record continuum theory is now being studied in Australia, wherein the segregated record management of current, semi-current, and past records based on the temporal flow of the life cycle theory are being critcized. In addition, it emerged as a new paradigm for electronic record management without time and spatial constraints. Moreover, it is recognized as a logical and conceptual entity rather than as a fixed physical object. It also makes it possible to record multiple records in consideration of the complex, multidimensional environment of records. Based on this record continuation theory, the current information and communications technology (ICT) is applied to the four axes and dimension of the record continuation diagram of theoretical researcher Frank Upward. The researchers aim to realize a video recording management method suitable for the electronic record age.
