With the quantitative growth of research data, the issue of enormous preservation cost and sharing expansion, the organizations should prioritize the collections then select the data that are worthy of save. Therefore, today, it is important for the organizations to appraise the continuing value of produced records. Considering the universities and the public institutions such as governmentfunded research institutes as the heavy producer of the data, it becomes a rising problem for the records management that it does not go beyond the framework of "administrative records" and "public records". In this study, I looked into the background of the contention that the research records must be managed in a different perspective and checked the characteristics of research records in therms of the producers, research activities and records. Based on this analysis, I suggested the main issues and considerations about the subjects, criterias and methods in research records appraisal.

Metadata is a crucial component of record management, playing a vital role in properly managing and understanding the record. In cases where automatic metadata assignment is not feasible, manual input by records professionals becomes necessary. This study aims to alleviate the challenges associated with manual entry by proposing a method that harnesses ChatGPT technology for extracting records management metadata elements. To employ ChatGPT technology, a Python program utilizing the LangChain library was developed. This program was designed to analyze PDF documents and extract metadata from records through questions, both with a locally installed instance of ChatGPT and the ChatGPT online service. Multiple PDF documents were subjected to this process to test the effectiveness of metadata extraction. The results revealed that while using LangChain with ChatGPT-3.5 turbo provided a secure environment, it exhibited some limitations in accurately retrieving metadata elements. Conversely, the ChatGPT-4 online service yielded relatively accurate results despite being unable to handle sensitive documents for security reasons. This exploration underscores the potential of utilizing ChatGPT technology to extract metadata in records management. With advancements in ChatGPT-related technologies, safer and more accurate results are expected to be achieved. Leveraging these advantages can significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of tasks associated with managing records and metadata in archives.

This paper offers a theoretical examination of the political role of records and archives, focusing on the ideas of German literary theorist Walter Benjamin. The study specifically explores how the advent of the age of technical reproduction has influenced the essential characteristics of records and how they transform into political tools. Reinterpreting Benjamin's concept of aura within the context of records, the paper investigates how the notions of aura and authenticity affect the political role of records in the digital era. By doing so, it analyzes the tension between the loss of authenticity in electronic records and the increased democratization of information access. Furthermore, the study explains the ways in which records are used either to uphold the legitimacy of power or as tools of resistance. Based on Benjamin's theoretical framework, the paper discusses how the reproducibility of records can simultaneously contribute to the democratization of information and increase the risk of manipulation and distortion. The research critically examines ethical issues that arise during the politicization of records, with a particular focus on case studies, and explores the practical role that records can play in mediating and resolving political and social conflicts. By applying Benjamin's theory to the archival context, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the political implications of records in the digital age, shedding light on the impact of archival practices on democracy and power relations in contemporary society.
