In this paper, I applied known theories of appraisal and re-appraisal to the Japanese Colonial Archives and the Colonial City Planing Archives in Korea. The purpose of this application to some of sample archives was to develop a useful and effective approach to appraise the archives which were not appraised before they were determined to be "permanent" archives by the Japanese colonial officials. The colonial archives have lost their context and "chain of custody." A large portion of their volume also disappeared. Only thirty thousands volumes survived. The appraisal theories and related issues applied to and tested on these archives are; "original natures" of archives defined by Sir. Hillary Jenkinson, Schellenburg's information value appraisal theory, the re-appraisal theory based on economy of preservation and prospect for use of the archives, function-based appraisal theory and documentation theory, the special nature of the archives as unique, old and rare colonial archives, the intrinsic value of the archives, especially the city planing maps and drawings, and finally, the determination of the city planing archives as permanent archives according to the contemporary and modern disposal authority. The colonial archives tested were not naturally self-proven authentic and trustworthy records as many other archives are. They lost their chain of custody and they do not guarantee the authenticity and sincerity of the producers. They need to be examined and reviewed critically before they are used as historical evidence or any material which documented the contemporary society. Rapport's re-appraisal theory simply does not fit into these rare historical archives. The colonial archives have intrinsic values. Though these archives represent some aspects of the colonial society, they can not document the colonial society since they are just survived remains or a little part of the whole archives created. The functions and the structure of the Government General of Korea(朝鮮總督府) were not fully studied yet and hardly can be used to determine the archival values of the archives created in some parts of the colonial apparatus. The actual appraisal methods proved to be effective in the case of colonial archives was Schellenburg's information value appraisal theory. The contextual and content information of the colonial archives were analysed and reconstructed. The appraisal works also resulted in full descriptions of the colonial archives which were never described before in terms of archival principles.

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.

It is necessary to diagnose the standard record management system when the system is being spread out to entire public organization and institutions. This study aims to analyze the standard record management system for improving system and revising the related standards in the future. This study evaluates the satisfaction on the interface and functional quality of the system through questionnaire survey on records managers. It is found that the satisfaction of functional quality is just above the line, but the interface fails to satisfy records managers. Also the reliability of the system appears to be higher satisfaction than efficiency and usability. Therefore, the study suggests that the standard records management systems should try to improve 'easy of use' and effectiveness and efficiency by implementing heavy batch job and promoting modulation of key function. And the study emphasizes that the standards will be revised with the long-term plan in order to develop standard records management system systematically and continuously.

Owing to changing work environment and increasing uncertainty, risk management in records management area is becoming more important to secure work legitimacy and to increase the value of information for future. While risk factors in traditional records management were mainly focused on the preservation function, those in current records management were directly coupled with those of overall work processes which produce, distribute, and utilize records because information technologies make the relationship between works and records closer. This study proposes a set of risk management factors and strategies in records management based on the overall risk management framework of ISO 31000. Moreover, ARMA's works areas and NIST's systems areas were applied to form the risk management processes in records management, and ISO's records management standards were used to suggest the checklists for the processes in both areas, especially with ISO TR 26122 for work processes, and ISO 16175-3 for the context of records.

This study discusses the process of forming discussions on information management in the field of records management and the need to expand information management functions that promote the utilization of records as information, focusing on the thought of records disposal in the digital era. Until now, records disposal has been recognized as a concept of physical destruction aimed at reducing the cost required for management and preservation through the reduction of large numbers of records. However, records disposal provides a starting point for discussions on information management in the field of records management. It forms the central axis for debate to strengthen the role of records management as information managers in the digital era. Therefore, this study examines the thought of records disposal in the paper age, analyzes the division of the function of records management and the process of developing into discussions on information management, and examines the controversy surrounding records disposal in the digital era. Furthermore, this study suggests the need to expand information management functions that promote the utilization of records as information.

The study aims to present authenticity ontology required for capturing information about digital record's identity and integrity over the course of the lifecycle. To this end, we analyzed the functional requirements, domain model, and sample properties of the IPAM (InterPARES Authenticity Metadata), Based on IPAM, we proposed an ontology for authenticity of digital records with sample records. The suggested ontology modeling can be utilized as the basis for establishing an authenticity information creation and management tool for digital records.

The presidential archives of Participating Government were left as a result of record production innovation. The record proves the whole process of decision making and serves as a means of enhancing transparency and accountability. This article analyzed the existence form of records and asserted the necessity of reorganization. In the direction of the re-organization of records, we proposed a redesign of the record classification system, logical re-registration of records, and description of record detail information. In order to facilitate the use of the archives, the Presidential Archives should proceed with these tasks at the earliest opportunity.

This study analyzes the relevance of retention period assigned for each unit task based on the table of records management standards that has been used in schools around the country since January 2011. Retention period, which used to be appropriated on the basis of a record file in the classification scheme, has been re-appropriated on the basis of unit tasks after the table of records management standards have been introduced. However, the new retention period of school records directly apply the 7 retention periods defined for public institutions according to Public Records Management Act. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the relevance of retention period for school records appropriated for unit task from various angles regarding laws, indexes, survey results, overseas cases.

고대 천문기록을 연구하는 과정에서 기록의 사실 여부와 함께 천문기록에 영향을 미치는 요소를 확인하는 것은 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 고대의 천문기록 중에서 관측 빈도수가 높은 유성과 유성우 기록을 통해 이들의 분포와 역사적 환경 요소와의 관련성을 알아보았다. 유성과 유성우 기록을 분석한 선행연구에 의하면 한국과 중국 일본의 고대 유성과 유성우 기록은 잘 알려진 주기 유성우의 특성을 잘 보여준다. 그러나 인접한 세 나라의 관측 기록은 시대별로 일부 다른 분포를 보이는데 이러한 이유를 알아보기 위해 세 나라의 역사적 환경과 천문기록 분포와의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 1200년부터 1700년까지 500년 동안의 왕조-왕위교체, 외부침략, 내란과 같은 역사 사건을 조사하여 중요도에 따라 세 등급으로 나누고 이들을 유성과 유성우 기록 분포와 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 한국과 중국 일본의 고대 유성과 유성우의 기록 분포와 역사적 사건과는 서로 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 세 나라의 고대 천문관측 기록이 정치적 사건의 영향을 받지 않았음을 의미한다. 고대 천문기록을 분석할 경우 역사적 사건이나 왕위교체 등의 사회적 영향보다는 시대별 천문기록의 분포개수를 고려한 가중치가 중요하게 고려되어야 할 것이다.
