Abstract
Student records are essential for the functional, social, and personal aspects of the university. However, it is difficult to systematically manage such records because of the vast amount produced by several agents, the decentralization of the university’s records management system, and various types and forms produced. Despite acknowledging the importance of student records, Myongji University implements its records management system at a sluggish pace. This study defined students’ records except for the administrative records of the university as “student-related records” and categorized them into education records, student creation and research records, and student activity records. After examining the best practices in Korea and abroad, we reviewed the current status of Myongji University’s student records management system and proposed appropriate and comprehensive management plans accordingly.
Abstract
This study reviews the basics of earthquake preparedness from several archives and international cases of earthquake damage and restoration to establish an earthquake preparedness plan in Korean archives. The results of the study are as follows: first, to establish the direction of an earthquake preparedness plan, the study summarizes the basic characteristics of an earthquake and its damages, as well as applies the key elements of disaster preparedness planning after reviewing its basic principles. Second, the study analyzes four international cases that may have significant implications for the earthquake preparedness plan in Korea. Given this, four international cases present lessons and limitations such as the book dropping of a library in Japan, the collapse of archives in Germany, damaged archives because of a massive earthquake in New Zealand, and earthquake preparedness and recovery plans in cultural heritage sectors. Third, to apply the information from overseas cases to domestic, the study examines the lessons, the key elements of earthquake preparedness planning, and the public record standard for Korean archives through the mutual linking process, as well as issues that should be considered. The issues reviewed in this study could help Korean archives establish a realizable earthquake preparedness plan in the future.
Abstract
Festival records are valuable social records, not only historically but also culturally. Even though festival records are worthy of preservation, many of them are not managed appropriately. In particular, photographs taken by the public are dispersed in various SNS services such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This study collected festival photographs, taken by the public, from these SNS services and built a participatory archive for Daegu. As such, this study identified and suggested a metadata set through the process of archiving festival photographs. In addition, this study proposed a model of the participatory archive for festival photographs. This model illustrated the institute’s collection of festival photographs in the SNS services and the creation of the participatory archive.
Abstract
Various organizations generate and collect human rights records in North Korea for the purpose of punishing perpetrators and compensating victims; hence, a systematic and integrated management system on such records is needed. As such, the study aims to propose metadata for the human rights records in the country. Furthermore, the study derived common and necessary elements for the management of human rights records and referred deficiencies to the United Nations’ (UN) guidelines by analyzing three local and international organizations and two human rights record software. Overall, the metadata consists of 15 upper elements in total with their corresponding subelements. Each of the proposed upper elements consists of 13 essential and 2 optional elements.
Abstract
This study aims to provide alternative strategies by analyzing the current records management system of the National Assembly. The study also defines the concept of parliamentary activity records based on the analysis of the parliamentary organization and its work, and checks the status of such system through the National Assembly Archives and the Constitutional Memorial Hall. In addition, the study derives institutional problems of the National Assembly records management structure by examining the current law. Therefore, the study proposes the Act on the Management of National Assembly Records, referred to as the Special Act on the Records Management Act, as an improvement measure. Furthermore, the Act aims to establish an intermediate records management system in the National Assembly and transfer the collection function of the constitutional memorial to the National Assembly Archives for the integrated management of parliamentary activities records.
Abstract
The study aims to develop and verify evaluation factors and items for assessing the quality when digitizing intangible cultural heritage record information resources. To derive evaluation areas and factors, the study analyzes the digitalization cases of the National Intangible Heritage Center and International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific region (ICHCAP) under the auspices of UNESCO, along with digitalization-related guidelines, National Archives of Korea standards, and previous studies. Afterward, to select the importance of evaluation factors and items developed, the study conducted a survey on working-level officials of intangible cultural heritage-related organizations and those working on digitalization, and established an allocation system based on the selected importance. Furthermore, the study performed a pilot evaluation by applying it to a digitalized intangible cultural heritage record information resources and conducted a focus group interview (FGI) to verify the results of the evaluation. Through the evaluation factors and items developed in this study, the agency can objectify the deficiencies of digitalization at a glance and use them as basic data by practitioners in the future.
Abstract
The study aims to analyze the characteristics and problems of raw image file formats, evaluate its suitability for the management of digital photographic records, and suggest the introduction method to utilize such format in public institutions. Raw image file formats feature reversibility and flexibility. However, most of them are proprietary file formats that depend on the digital camera manufacturer. The DNG format, which was developed to standardize raw image file formats, has received positive reviews from overseas public agencies. However, the DNG format is not fully recognized as a standard; hence, it is appropriate to use it tentatively until the standard raw format appears. On the other hand, the converted digital photo file format is not recognized as an original with legal authenticity. Therefore, in the short term, DNG files created by format conversion and original raw files should be encapsulated and preserved. Furthermore, it is necessary to redefine the baseline of the hash value and file size to recognize the legal authenticity only with DNG files in the long term.

Abstract
This study analyzed the problems that occurred while constructing and operating the cloud record management system at the record management workplace and suggested ways to improve the system. In the study, the cloud record management system has the following problems: first, it has not been accompanied by the change in the legislative system. Second, it has not been utilizing the benefits of cloud technology. Third, it has not been considering the changes after the system construction. Given this, the study suggested three improvement plans to solve these problems: first, in relation to the reformed legislative system, the study proposed the diversification of records management units (file-item structure) and the restriction on access to records. Second, the study suggested a system redesign by improving the current work process based on paper documents. Third, to solve records management issues, the study presented the establishment of the governance body and the proactive countermeasure of the National Archives of Korea.
Abstract
As the foundation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, blockchain is becoming an essential core infrastructure and technology that creates new growth engines in various industries and is rapidly spreading to the environment of businesses and institutions worldwide. In this study, the characteristics and trends of blockchain technology were investigated and arranged, its application to the records management section of public institutions was required, and the procedures and methods of construction in the records management field of public institutions were studied in literature. Finally, blockchain technology was applied to the records management to propose an archive chain model and describe possible expectations. When the transactions that record the records management process of electronic documents are loaded into the blockchain, all the step information can be checked at once in the activity of processing the records management standard tasks that were fragmentarily nonlinked. If a blockchain function is installed in the electronic records management system, the person who produces the document by acquiring and registering the document enters the metadata and information, as well as stores and classifies all contents. This would simplify the process of reporting the production status and provide real-time information through the original text information disclosure service. Archivechain is a model that applies a cloud infrastructure as a backend as a service (BaaS) by applying a hyperledger platform based on the assumption that an electronic document production system and a records management system are integrated. Creating a smart, electronic system of the records management is the solution to bringing scattered information together by placing all life cycles of public records management in a blockchain.
Abstract
The transition of the central government system to the cloud-based infrastructure is being conducted as the National Information Resources Service (NIRS, Ministry of the Interior and Safety) attempts to integrate government IT resources. In the early days, the transition was attempted as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for the cloud service of HW; however, currently, ithe transition is being converted to software as a service (SaaS) for the service of common business. Typical and common business is a document creation for government service and records management. Document creation is produced on cloud On-Nara system, and such system is deployed to central government agencies from 2015 to 2018, as well as the deployment to local government plans is to be gradually implemented after 2018. Currently, the records management is performed with the cloud RMS system, and such system is distributed to the central government from 2016 to 2018, as well as the dissemination to the local government is scheduled to be carried out, considering the adoption of the On-Nara system.
Abstract
Recently, the central administrative agency changed its business management system to cloud-based On-nara 2.0. To transfer and manage the records of the cloud business management system, the National Archives Service has developed and distributed a cloud-based records management system. It serves as an opportunity to maximize the benefits of cloud computing and redesign the records management to be more effective and efficient. The process and method of electronic record management can be transformed through digital technologies. First, we can change the transfer method for electronic records. When the business and the records management systems share the same cloud storage, it is possible to transfer the content files between the two systems without moving the contents files physically, thus copying only the metadata and reducing the cost and the risk of integrity damage. Second, the strategy for allocating storage space for contents can be conceived. Assuming that the cloud storage is shared by the business and the record management systems, it is advantageous to distinguish the storage location based on the retention period of the content files. Third, systems that access content files, such as records creation, records management, and information disclosure systems, can share the cloud storage and minimize the duplication of content files.
Abstract
Gyeongsangnam-do Archives is the first permanent record management organization built in the province. In 2007, the Local Archives Management Agency was obliged to establish under the “Public Archives Management Act,” and it was not until about 10 years after that the first plan was made for the construction of all 17 attempts. Unlike the initial plan, many parts of the building were reduced because of the building remodeling; nonetheless, the construction was successful. The Gyeongsangnam-do Archives, which first came to the fore in Gyeongnam, is constantly committed to the development of records management and the spread of recording culture from 2014 to 2019. However, the first time was unfamiliar and difficult because of many challenges. Furthermore, it is necessary to carry out various tasks that have been set aside such as the actual implementation of declarative laws and realization of the spread of the recording culture with citizens. Therefore, the first trial may require more responsibility than glory. As the researcher, I will manage various tasks and results of the work done at Gyeongsangnam-do Archives, as well as record every day to be recognized as a leader and director of spreading the recording culture.
