Although most medical institutions in Korea use electronic medical records (EMR), there are many problems in the management and preservation of records when such medical institutions are closed. Records of closed medical institutions need to be systematically managed; however, the rate of closed medical institutions transferring records to public health centers is significantly low. Given that each medical institution has a different system and format, public health centers often cannot access records. In addition, there are no management standards that suit the reality of public health centers and the specificity of EMR. Recently, a strengthened Medical Law has been passed wherein records of closed medical institutions should be kept by health centers; therefore, this study focused on drawing up measures for efficient records management by public health centers. To this end, the relevant laws and management status were identified and an interview was conducted. After analyzing the problems, improvement plans in institutional, technical, and administrative aspects were proposed.

The ultimate goal of preserving and maintaining the records is to use them practically. The effective use of records should be supported by the reasonable recordskeeping systems and access standards. In this report, I examined the Korean laws and administrative systems related to the public records access issues. After I pointed out major problems of the access laws, the Government Information Opening Act (GOIA), and the problems in practices, I suggested some alternatives for the betterment of the access system. The GIOA established "eight standards of exemption to access" not to open some information to protect national interests and privacy. The Public Records Management Act (PRMA) applies to the archives transferred to "professional archives." The two laws show fundamental differences in the ways to open the public records to public. First, the GIOA deals with the whole information (the records) that public institutions keep and maintain, while the PRMA deals with the records that were transferred to the Government Archives. Second, the GIOA provides with a legal procedure to open public records and the standards to open or not to open them, while the PRMA allows the Government Archives to decide whether the transferred records should be opened or not. Third, the GIOA applies to record producing agencies, while the PRMA applies to public archival institutions. One of the most critical inadequacies of the PRMA is that there are no standards to judge to open the archives through reclassification procedure. The GIOA also suggests only the type of information that is not accessible. It does not specify how long the records can be closed. The GARS does not include the records less than 30 years old as its objects of the reclassification. To facilitate the opening of the archives, we need to revise the GIOA and the PRMA. It is necessary to clearly divide the realms between the GIOA and the PRMA on the access of the archives. The PRMA should clarify the principles of the reclassification as well as reclassifying method and exceptions. The exemption standards of the GIOA should be revised to restrict the abuse of the exemption clauses, and they should not be applied to the archives in the GARS indiscreetly and unconditionally.

"Detailed Nondisclosure Standards" of an institution include subject information and rationale that should not be disclosed by the institution. According to the Information Disclosure Act, such standards must be established in consideration of the nature of work, and continuous implementation is required. However, studies that reviewed the purpose and role of "Detailed Nondisclosure Standards" or the status of public institutions' development and operation of such standards were insufficient despite such standards being an indispensable tool in practice and a major device to protect the people's right to know. Therefore, this study introduces the strategies of the public institution and the research team to develop detailed standards for nondisclosure through the case of institution A. This will be of practical help to public institutions that intend to develop detailed nondisclosure standards in the future based on communication between institution A and the research team and sharing details during the project process.

The purpose of this study is to review whether Certified Electronic Document Center can perform electronic records preservation work as 'external electronic records storage facilities'. It began with addressing the current state of Certified Electronic Document Center. And then reviewed the key concepts of archival science in archival science literature and the meaning of electronic records preservation. The results of the review pointed out that these concepts are confused depending on each designated community's interests while the revision of the Archives Law. And finally we inspected whether Certified Electronic Document Center has an ability to perform the electronic records preservation work. For this, we compared and analyzed Archives Law, national archives' standards and regulations related to Certified Electronic Document Center. As a result, we may confirm that the current Certified Electronic Document Center did not have the capability for records management.

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.

This study aims to propose management plans for 'Archive Village' that are operating in order to protect important private records and archives. Since 2008, Archive Villages from National Archives of Korea have had nearly 3,000 more records by 2014. However, many users have had difficulties to know the status of the recorded material, even less access to record's informations. This problem arising is that it is difficult to manage and use records. The purpose of this study is to propose a plan for the management of records, which is to realize the 'Computerization of records' official opinion, one of which was raised in the previous study. Because the project is facing the issue of 'human resources and costs', 'the burden of system construction'. This study is implemented records management system considering the problems noted above, utilizing AtoM (Access to Memory).

The requirements of being archivists and records managers were revised in 2011 and expanded in the scope of their education levels such as having master's or higher degrees in archives and records management, or completion of one year program of archives and records management after having B. A. degree in archival science, history or library and information science with passing of exams recruiting the experts in the field. However, archivists are not much recognized as professionals since there is no definite regulation for being experts in the field. Accordingly, this study aims to put forth the development of their qualification by comparing qualification factors of developed countries for archivists and records managers. Three factors of professional qualification for archivists and records managers are suggested as follows: certification of a standardized curriculum of archival studies, a proposed certification system for the archivists and recognition of working experience and specified duties to the archivists' qualifications as a way to acknowledge career-based expertise.

This study aimed to design an evaluation system applicable to permanent record management institutions, focusing on the Seoul Archives, in order to implement the reevaluation of permanent record management institutions. As a process for this, an area for evaluating evidence, administrative, and historical values was established and detailed evaluation factors were derived. In order to effectively apply the set evaluation factors, the evaluation procedure was designed by dividing them into three stages. In the first stage of law-based evaluation, long-term preservation was determined by identifying the position and legal form of policymakers that can be immediately evaluated according to clear standards. Records that have not been determined for long-term preservation were reorganized into evaluation factors, such as record management standards, official document classification tables, pledges, and policies, which are the second stage of business function-based evaluation, and then comprehensively applied to review the validity of long-term preservation of held records. In the second stage of evaluation, records that were not judged as long-term preservation were judged by applying historical events, cultural assets, and collection policies in the subject-based evaluation stage, which is the third stage of evaluation. The designed evaluation system can find significance in minimizing the arbitrariness reflected in the evaluation and increasing the efficiency of the evaluation, and it has been confirmed that it is possible to evaluate comprehensively reflecting the various contexts and values of the records. In addition, a re-evaluation system suitable for permanent records management institutions was established by combining balanced macro-evaluation and micro-evaluation.
