In domestic public institutions, administrative information datasets are recognized as electronic records that require systematic management. In this regard, concrete measures for the execution of records management have been discussed recently in the National Archives of Korea and the academic field. This study seeks to derive a plan to improve evaluation indicators that can effectively grasp the value of administrative information datasets and the matters to be considered when evaluating and selecting datasets in the records management of public institutions. This paper analyzes the theoretical background and current status of dataset evaluation and selection, derives considerations necessary for this process, and proposes improvement measures for evaluation indicators presented in previous studies. The results of this study are expected to lead to the revitalization of discussions on maintaining the public institutions' dataset management system and supplementing the management process in the future.

The idea of the vertical filing had been introduced in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century. This is regarded as a root of the management of business records and office works. After the Secund World War, The Occupied Army introduced the American method of the document management and the method as the filing system had been generalized among many offices. However, the filing method bad been regarded the needed skills for clerical staff. The business documents and records have increased in volumes and recognized their value as information resources in business and management. These movements have become a good grounding in introducing and development of records management. To spread the idea and method of records management in business offices, it is required that academic research and training systems must be developed and established. In such situation, The Records management Society, Japan has been established in1989 and the graduate corse on records management has been established in Surugadai Univ. in 1999. Those are the center of research and studying activities on records management in Japan.

This pilot study explores a method of extracting metadata values and descriptions from records using named entity recognition (NER), a technique in natural language processing (NLP), a subfield of artificial intelligence. The study focuses on handwritten records from the Guro Industrial Complex, produced during the 1960s and 1970s, comprising approximately 1,200 pages and 80,000 words. After the preprocessing process of the records, which included digitization, the study employed a publicly available language API based on Google's Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) language model to recognize entity names within the text. As a result, 173 names of people and 314 of organizations and institutions were extracted from the Guro Industrial Complex's past records. These extracted entities are expected to serve as direct search terms for accessing the contents of the records. Furthermore, the study identified challenges that arose when applying the theoretical methodology of NLP to real-world records consisting of semistructured text. It also presents potential solutions and implications to consider when addressing these issues.

At a time when Korea and the rest of the world recently faced the unprecedented situation of "COVID-19," the view of actively "disclosure" of information to prevent the spread of infectious diseases is at odds with the view of "protecting" personal information as these social measures are coupled with the infringement of individuals' basic rights. In order to see the nation's response to the infectious disease crisis, we examined the current status and characteristics of public records according to crisis alert levels based on the manual for responding to infectious disease. Especially we analyzed the types and disclosure status of records containing personal information. For detecting personal information-related issues on news media, we collected online news articles and performed text anlaysis. Through this, we reviewed the problems of record management including personal information and suggested improvement points from the perspective of the life cycle of records: collect, manage, and dispose of them.

This study aims to analyze how the concept of legal evidence has influenced the principles of records management and investigate its meaning and limitations from the perspective of archives. To this end, it outlined how the methodologies of judging the trustworthiness of records as evidence have changed from Roman Law to modern legislation. In addition, the archival meaning of the historical development was analyzed in the following aspects; i) What was the main framework applied to judge the trustworthiness of records? ii) What characteristics did they think records as legal evidence should have? iii) What types of records were the main management targets, and how did they recognize the relationship between records and reality? Based on these analyses, the meaning and limitations of the records management that values legal evidence were presented.

Since the government of Republic of Korea was established in 1948, a period that made the biggest difference on National Records Management System was from 1999 when was enacted. Especially, it was the period of President Roh's five-year tenure called Participation Government (2003-2008). This paper illustrates distinct phenomena of Records Management System Policy during Participation Government. Three major agents of the system are President Roh, the Presidential Secretariat, and Archives Management Bureau at the National Archives of Korea. They sometimes competed with themselves for initiatives of policy, but they used to cooperate with each other and have brought about innovations on records management. The first distinctive characteristic of Participation Government (below PG)'s records management is that it implemented governance actively. That is, it tried to listen carefully to all opinions of interest organizations related to records management and enacted laws based on those. The PG not only listened to civic groups, but also created two professional groups called Records Management Innovation Expert Committee and Innovation Decentralization Assessment Committee. Those two groups enacted . Another remarkable feature is a nomination of records management specialists at public institutions. In 2005, PG created Archival Research Positions among research public officials and appointed experts in the field of Archival Research History at central department. With the process, the government tried to provide public records management system and to improve specialty of records management. Since then, records management specialists were employed not only at local governments but also at private archival institutions. It has allowed of entering a new phase in employing records management professionals. The Participation Government also legislated (completely revised) . It led to a beginning of developing records management in Republic of Korea. was revised thoroughly for the e-Government period and was established as a foundation for managing presidential records. An establishing process of a country's records management system describes the degree of democratic development of society. Following governments should supplement PG's shortcomings and carry out 'New Governance Records Management System'. Principal subjects of records management system should include not only a government but also civic groups, local governments, small businesses, and academic professionals. The object of records management also needs to be democratic by recording not only the plans and enforcements of a task but also influences and results of a task. The way of archiving ought to be discussed by all related principals.

Archival objects produced in relation to the activities of public institutions hold the inexpressible symbolism, historical value, and esthetical value as well in that the values of display and reuse of archives materials in the future are high as figures. The revised law of Archives Act in 2007 has provided a foundation for managing the archival objects in every public organization, by also including archival objects into the category of archives produced and registered in relation to their works. Although it could be seen as a reforming will to aim at the differential approach from the past to recognize the archival objects as records and make the managing will documented, it is still in an unprepared state to define the concepts on archival objects and to have methods to systematically manage and preserve them. Thus this paper has researched on the type classification of archival objects and their evaluation, as way of developing the methods for the management system for archival objects. On the premise that it should be preceded by clear definitions of concepts and distinctive understanding of their types first in order to build up the management system for archival objects, definition and type classification of the archival object have been attempted, based on the actual research materials and the current relevant laws. In addition, this study has analyzed the characteristics of selecting archival objects in order to search for which one they should obtain and manage among archival objects produced and reused in relation to the works of public institutions. On the basis of this, the plans for the national selection system and provision of selecting criteria for the subjects of permanent preservation have been suggested in this study.

This paper considers the relationship between ethics and archives by asking the question "who is the archivist?". Aside from this, the researcher also emphasized the following theses. First, archival science should search for ethics as a discourse and not just the Code of Ethics. Second, an archivist should state his/her view in their archives field. Third, archival science should search for both personal and practical knowledge. Aside from these, this article argues also that an epistemological approach is necessary for ethics.

This study aims to investigate services of presidential archives in Korea for users who utilize holdings of the archives for scholarly purposes, as well as to examine users' perception of the services. For these purposes, the study analyzed the content of 13 U.S. presidential libraries' Web sites in terms of their research services. In addition, it examined the content of a Korean presidential archives' Web site regarding its research services. Telephone interviews of three staff members of the presidential archives were conducted to better understand the services. With this, three users who have written research papers by using presidential records were interviewed by telephone. It was found that federated search services, access by subjects, and related records of search results were considered necessary by users. A variety of digitized records should be provided online and the services needed should be changed from mere processing of FOIA requests to archival reference services to meet users' needs. Congruently, the presidential archives should provide specialized services to offer records relevant to users' research interests and to provide the compilation of selected records crucial for research.
