Recently, a number of record centers have reviewed the introduction of an RFID system for repository management. However, the RFID system currently in use by records management institutions is implemented with only a few functions for repository management. As such, a more efficient nonelectronic records management is required by improving the functions of the current RFID system. In this paper, the researchers proposed a method to improve its functions through an analysis of the RFID system being introduced for the management of nonelectronic records. To analyze the status of nonelectronic records management of records management institutions, the researchers investigated cases of the National Archives of Korea where RFID was introduced in 2007 and the records management institutions of local governments where RFID was introduced in 2016.

Along with the changing computing environment, the production of public documents is moving to G-Cloud and On-nara System, which are re-engineered on G-Cloud. In this process, it is predicted that the Open Document Format (ODF) will replace the proprietary document format, HWP, and will become widely used in the near future. To preserve digital records produced in ODF, this study reviewed the current long-term preservation strategies and identified considerations for new formats. For ODF source files, it is suggested to eliminate the conversion to PDF/A-1 and preserve the documents in the extended ODF with added metadata of records management. Moreover, ODF is presented as an alternative format for preserving proprietary formats. Finally, this study reviewed the current long-term preservation format, i.e., NEO, and suggests a zipped BagIt package, which has an ISO 21320 specification.
