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.
