Abstract

Along with the development of information technology, the digitalization of archives has also been accelerating. However, digital archives have limitations in effectively searching, interlinking, and understanding records. In response to these issues, this study proposes a knowledge graph that represents comprehensive relationships among heterogeneous entities in digital archives. In this case, the knowledge graph organizes resources in the archives on the Korean financial crisis of 1997 by transforming them into named entities that can be discovered by machines. In particular, the study investigates and creates an overview of the characteristics of the archives on the Korean financial crisis as a digital archive. All resources on the archives are described as entities that have relationships with other entities using semantic vocabularies, such as Records in Contexts-Ontology (RiC-O). Moreover, the knowledge graph of the Korean Financial Crisis of 1997 is represented by resource description framework (RDF) vocabularies, a machine-readable format. Compared to conventional digital archives, the knowledge graph enables users to retrieve a specific entity with its semantic information and discover its relationships with other entities. As a result, the knowledge graph can be used for semantic search and various intelligent services.

Abstract

Deficiencies are present in records management during the production stage of long-term electronic records preservation. As such, this study seeks to address these issues by introducing Cloud On-Nara System (On-Nara Document 2.0) at records management sites and providing various systems and linked services. In particular, the factors that degrade the continuity of long-term preservation in the records management process, from the production to the utilization of electronic records, in On-Nara Document 2.0 were identified, and the causes were analyzed in compliance with ISO 15486-1:2016 and the Public Records Act. As a result, in ​​redesigning the records management procedure, the organization of the records management hub between systems and the conversion of the document preservation format for long-term preservation were proposed. Moreover, the application of consistent production format selection criteria and the reinforcement of the production and management of granular metadata were recorded. These measures were proposed in an effort to ​​reestablish management methods.

Abstract

Although numerous studies have noted the importance of data sets in government information systems, the practical management of data sets has yet to be developed. Under these circumstances, the National Archives of Korea designated data set management as a major project in 2020, initiating full-scale management work. Despite these efforts, the records center, which will conduct management, expressed great concern for the new project. As such, this study identifies problems in managing data sets and searches for possible improvements through a comparison with existing public data projects by public institutions. In particular, the following materials were analyzed: laws, notices, guidelines, and publications issued by the ministries. Based on the results, several measures were proposed as part of an improvement plan for data set management: (1) the utilization of government functional classification as a reference, (2) the reorganization of the table, and (3) data linkage with related systems.

Abstract

Local public corporations are closely related to the welfare promotion of local residents because they are responsible for the management of public facilities and are entrusted with some of the duties of local governments. Besides these responsibilities, they also have to conduct systematic and professional record management to ensure the legitimacy and fairness of organizational activities as the importance of ethical management and knowledge management emerges in organization. With regard to this task, this study proposes an improvement plan for the records management of local public corporations by analyzing the current status of records management and the awareness level for the possibility of developments in record management work. For this endeavor, the study conducted a literature review, gathered 50 survey responses from archivists from local public corporations nationwide, and performed 18 interviews with the survey respondents. Based on the analysis of these data, the study proposes that the National Archives of Korea should strengthen the role of supporting local public corporations. Moreover, local public corporations are suggested to improve records management at the local level and form a cooperative union among similar corporations.

Abstract

In recent years, many users preferred video records, and as the broadcasting video data becomes necessary, the demand for video records’ use has increased. However, most broadcasters’ archive agencies currently provide archive services only for internal employees, and for the general public. In this study, the web-based online information services provided to the general public in the archive sites of domestic and foreign public broadcasting companies were examined and analyzed. The evaluation criteria for the web-based records information services were identified in three service areas: online accessibility, search and online browsing, and outreach or expansion services. The overseas public broadcasters’ web-based services and the public broadcasting companies’ current status were examined for each area. Based on the examination, direction improvements, such as providing online search and records, developing various outreach services, and expanding user levels were proposed for the information services on broadcasting video data in public broadcasting companies for the general public.

Abstract

This study analyzed the issues on Article 35-4 of the Copyright Act of Korea, a new provision on the use of orphan works. The new provision was compared to other related provisions, and considerations were suggested for their improvement. The main results are summarized as follows: (1) Article 35-4 is contradictory to other provisions and needs further revisions as it limits the subject of application to the main body of operation and applies only to some libraries, museums, and galleries through its ordinances; (2) a new provision on the use of orphan works must be applied to archives to harmonize with Article 31 and use the interconnection between cultural heritage institutions more beneficially; and (3) considering that there are many unpublished works in the archives, Article 35-4 should be revised to also be applicable to those works.

Abstract

The development of the Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies (PREMIS) aims to preserve practices beyond the limits of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) conceptual framework; however, the examples and guidelines on connecting each metadata element to the actual data are unclear, making the design of preservation metadata in real digital archives difficult. Hence, this study investigates actual PREMIS 3.0-based preservation metadata management cases, preserves digital resources in various digital archive environments, and derives implications for the implementation and design of preservation metadata. Based on the analysis, the study proposes preservation metadata elements that can be considered when designing preservation metadata for digital archives according to PREMIS 3.0 application profile guidelines.

Abstract

In light of SARS-CoV-2’s significant impact, human society has experienced rapid changes in lifestyle that it has not yet experienced before. One way this virus has influenced people’s lives is the emergence of the zero-contact society, an initiative for preventing the spread of infectious diseases. As can be seen, the social impact of COVID-19 is widespread. Various issues, such as those about government policy, personal information protection, and health care, are affecting society as a whole. At the same time, factual information is difficult to track and record because of the rapid and transient nature of related events and issues. As such, a method of effectively describing COVID-19 and real-time information is necessary. The “COVID-19: Our Memory” project is an attempt to record the sociocultural impact of the coronavirus infection. This project collects major events and issues classified into several subjects, records those events from a neutral point of view, and develops a digital archive so that all records are accessible. All the data collected and built through the project, the application, including the source code and visualization, are all published to bring about new opportunities for collaboration.

Abstract

This article introduces the case of archival management of the War and Women’s Human Rights Museum. The War and Women’s Human Rights is a nongovernment organization (NGO) focusing on the welfare of the Korean women who survived the Japanese military sexual slavery and is operated by a small museum. On the surface, the institution is registered and operated as a museum; however, as the parent institution’s actual work and collection records were transferred and managed, archival management functions account for a large portion of the museum’s work. In this study, the museum archivist and the collection archives’ characteristics and roles were introduced. As the differences and specialization between general museums and records management institutions are seen through the collection types, the advantages of a museum for archive management were discussed, and a system for records management institutions to move toward cultural institutions was proposed. Furthermore, the record management problems and their impacts on record management in response to the organization’s recent crisis, and its future vision and plans were introduced.
