Abstract

For the long-term preservation of document-type electronic records, the National Archives of Korea has chosen PDF/A-1 as the preservation format named as the document file format, and established it as a public standard. The only option of selecting PDF/A-1 restricts the use of various electronic file formats that can or must be applied to actual works as IT advances and tasks change. Moreover, it is difficult to apply PDF/A-1 to other types of electronic records (administrative information datasets, audiovisual records, web records, etc.). Therefore, it is necessary to diversify the preservation formats of electronic records. We suggest a framework for selecting various preservation formats. Furthermore, we propose common criteria and evaluation methods frequently applied to all electronic records when selecting a preservation format, and introduce a methodology for deriving intrinsic criteria applied to each type of electronic records.

문서 유형의 전자기록물 장기보존을 위해 국가기록원에서는 PDF/A-1을 보존포맷으로 선정하였고 문서보존포맷으로 명명하여 공공표준으로 제정하였다. 문서 중심의 하나의 보존포맷인 PDF/A-1를 선택할 수 밖에 없기 때문에, IT 발전과 업무 변화에 따라 실제 업무에 적용할 수 있거나 적용해야만 하는 다양한 전자파일 포맷들을 활용하는데 제약을 주고 있으며, 문서 이외에 다른 유형의 전자기록물(행정정보데이터세트, 시청각기록물, 웹기록물 등)에는 적용되기 어렵다. 그러므로 전자기록물의 보존포맷을 다양화할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는, 우선 전자기록물의 보존포맷을 다양화할 수 있는 보존포맷 선정체계를 제시한다. 또한, 보존포맷을 선정할 때, 모든 전자기록물에 공통으로 적용되는 기준인 공통기준 및 평가방식, 그리고 전자기록물 유형별로 적용되는 고유기준을 도출하기 위한 방법론을 제안하고자 한다.
