Korean public organizations create electronic documents through electronic document management systems under the e-Government scheme. A majority of these public documents are saved in vendor-dependent file formats, mainly HWP. Vendor-dependent formats can be opened only with specific software, which requires purchase. As the license does not guarantee compatibility between past and future versions, interoperability problems occur in long-term preservation, which need to be solved. Any error from the elimination of styles or no matching elements in document definition during conversion from vendor-dependent formats to the XML-based standard exchange format leads to file open failure or the modification of original documents. This study introduces the Open Document Format (ODF) and investigates the effects of adopting ODF in the creation, exchange, management, and preservation of public records.

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.
