In this article, the author introduces the paradigm shift in archival studies that occurs in north America. Although the dominant paradigm in the archival studies-the positivism paradigm-greatly contributed to build modern archives in Europe and north America, during last decades, new ideas and technologies led the archival communities to re-identify their social roles and powers and to adopt new values of archives and archivist. This essay argues that this changes is essential to our future and we understand the nature of the changes from the broader interdisciplinary perspective of archives studies, information studies, and history.

This study acknowledges that prevailing regulation concerning for the long-term preservation of electronic records focus mainly on document types, neglecting the preservation of electronic records from various administrative information systems. With the growing interest in data management in the era of big data, it is imperative to establish clear standards for the long-term preservation of datasets. The choice of preservation format for electronic records is based on the specific standards for each type of electronic record. These standards are formulated according to the significant properties relevant to the electronic record type. This study aims to identify the significant properties of electronic records of each record type, before creating specific preservation format selection criteria for these record types. To achieve this, we reviewed and analyzed R&D studies by the National Archives of Korea and the NARA in the United States. As a result of the research, 9 significant properties were identified for database-type entities, and 7 significant properties were identified for structured data-type entities.

How do we create a next generation Records Management System? Under a rapidly changing system development environment, the records management system of public institutions has remained stable for the past 10 years. For this reason, it seems to be the key cause of the structural problem of the Records Management System, which makes it difficult to accommodate user requirements and apply a new recording technology. The purpose of this study is to present a redesigned model for a next-generation records management system by analyzing the status of the electronic records management. This study analyzed "A Study on the Redesign of the Next-Generation Electronic Records Management Process," records management technology of advanced records management system, and a case of an overseas system. Based on the analysis results, the improvement direction of the records management system was analyzed from several aspects: functional, software design, and software distribution. This study thus suggests that the creation of a microservice architecture-based (MSA) and an open source software-oriented (OSS) records management system should be the focus of next-generation record management.

The key to the long-term preservation of electronic records is the long-term retention of the bitstream that contains the original functional attributes and appearances of the electronic records that were originally created and utilized. Considering economic and technical aspects, most of the major domestic and foreign archives have adopted a migration strategy that allows conversion to a new format depending on the stability and reliability of the format containing the original bitstream. However, as the type of electronic records varies and its scope continuously expands, several problems arise if a single migration strategy is observed. Therefore, the applicability of the emulation strategy is examined in this paper to reproduce the system and application environment where electronic records are created and utilized. As such, electronic records can be maintained without any changes in the bitstream by utilizing cloud computing technology.

Recently, The government has been brought in the electronic document system. So, It's been increasing the job processing with the electronic approval and the distribution business. However because of the variety of the storage type of electronic document, it's expected many difficulties in the public-usage and etemity-preservation of the information later. also, There are several problems to manage electronic document system, for example, absence of the important function for managing records, etc. So, We propose the methodology as a way to solve several problems of managing electronic document in this paper. It grows the business which is produced in processing the electronic records management. The kind of document file produced by the government is various. Through introducing the standard format of document file, hereafter it has an effect on helpfulness in standardizing the electronic document system, and people recognize the situation of problem to append the important function of the preservation and usage for the electronic document system. The key task is to make the document system with keeping records and following functions according to the law of records management. As applying the standard electronic document system to manage records, the records of the processing section to the data center and then the records of the data center transfer to the government records and archives center. So, the records which be transferred can be preservative and available. The record, such as visual and auditory record which is not easy to digitalize, can be digitally preservative and available in the government records and archives center.

Records management institutions in Korea generally face a situation where they lack the workforce to manage the vast amount of electronic records. If electronic records management tasks and archival information services can be automated and intelligentized, the workload can be reduced and the service satisfaction of users can be improved. Therefore, this study proposes to utilize "generative AI" technology in records management practice. To achieve this, the study first examined previous research that aimed to intelligently automate various tasks in the field of records management. The fundamental concepts of generative AI were subsequently outlined, and domestic cases of generative AI applications were investigated. Next, the scope of applying generative AI to the field of records management was defined, and specific utilization strategies were proposed based on this. Regarding the strategies, the effectiveness was verified by presenting results from applying commercial generative AI services or citing examples from other fields. Lastly, the benefits and implications of using generative AI technology in the field of records management, as well as limitations that must be addressed in advance, were presented. This study holds significance in that it identified tasks within the field of records management where generative AI technology can be integrated and proposed effective utilization strategies tailored to those tasks.

The year of 2013 is the first year that the new president takes the power and administrates the national affairs. In Korea, when the new president comes, the new administration brings big changes in the politics, economy, and society. The government management style has been changed according to the orientation and styles of the new president. Public records management is a critical and effective business tool to establish and carry out the government policies as well as an essential tool for democracy. Modern democracy is based on good governance. Creation and free use of full and accurate public records makes the good communication between the government and the public possible, and people's participation in the policy-making and surveillance of government activities for public good can work. During the present administration, communication between the president and the people was cutoff and people's participation in the national affairs have been further limited. Furthermore, in the present administration, the public records management was not regarded important, Whatever new administration comes, the year of 2013 is the time for the new administration to realize again the importance of the public records management and put it back to the normal track. Here are the major issues in the public records management to be concerned and resolved; (1) to ensure technological and institutional management of the electronic records in the government and safe transfer of the massive electronic records, (2) to establish an independent national records management and archives authority to be based on good governance, (3) to innovate the public records management in the public agencies including their agency records offices (RMO) and records management systems (RMS) (4) to establish local government archives and document local government policies and activities (5) supporting and promotion for documentation of the total society as a public service (6) expanding employment of professional records managers and archivists in the central and local governments, and standardization of professional competency and certification. In this paper, I will introduce the major issues in the public records management and suggest the policies and solutions that the Korean records professionals considered and discussed. This analysis and suggestions are the outcome of our professional considerations and discussions.
