In this paper, I examined specific characteristics of the Tables of Transactions for Records Scheduling(TRS) (記錄物分類基準表 ; Kirokmul-Bulyukijun - Pyo) system by Public Records and Archives Act(PRA Act, No. 5709, 1999). All staffs and employees in governmental agencies of Korea must register, classify and dispose of their official records according to TRS by the Presidential Regulation for the application of PRA Act(No. 17050, 2000). Namely, the criteria of TRS is applicable to all stages of records lifecycle from creation to disposition(transfer to Archives or legal destruction). In the theoretical and methodological area, therefore, it is absolutely important that records managers and archival professionals in Korea make analysis on functions and characteristics of TRS by PRA Act. In the first, my examination take notice of possibility of 'adequate and proper documentation' about activity of the executive organization in TRS system. Other attention is that records management according to TRS means managing of records not only as physical entities but as logical entities which imply content and context of creation and use. In other hand, I wish to account for reasonable separation consideration for continuing utility of archives from current use of records throughout agencies duration Another theme of discussion in this paper is the theoretical framework which give account of TRS's characters. In conclusion, accountability for characteristics of TRS system could have been found in counterproposal view including the concept of Records continuum and the notion of Recordkeeping regime in Australia based on rethinking about Records lifecycle model. In the extent of practical area, more or less, it is imbalanced method that compare TRS by PRA Act to Recordkeeping regime based on Records continuum. Nevertheless, the concept and notion is suitable framework that give account of the prospect of recordkeeping system under PRA Act.as well as the meaningful characteristic of TRS.

With the rapid changes in the digital technology, it is necessary to shift to a new paradigm corresponding to the changing environment was recognized. This study actively explores the possibility of applying new technologies for recordkeeping. This study aimed to investigate the applicability of blockchain to recordkeeping and to develop a new model for recordkeeping based on it. Through a conceptual analysis of blockchain and consideration of the recordkeeping process, a blockchain model that is suitable for the authentication of records was proposed. For this the network structure, the structure of blockchain blocks, a consensus algorithm, and recordkeeping blockchain model were designed. It also predicted potential changes in digital records management when applying blockchain. It predicted change in governance aspects to implement a horizontal cooperation system among the archives.

There had been substantial demand for record management system with which to efficiently control the information circulation processes, involving accumulation of recorded materials, classification of information resources, and users access to them. It converged to a collaboration of Australian federation, and Sydney Records Centre and finally induced Australian Standard Records Management, commonly known as AS 4390. AS 4390 served later as a model for International Standard of Record Management. This paper introduces the current undertaking of Recordkeeping system development in Australia, which stems from the line of AS 4390 by analysing exhibited research approaches. The analysis includes the definition, regime of Recordkeeping system, design and implementing of guidelines of Recordkeeping System and information on metadata projects. It also highlights the necessity for standardization, as is the prime factor in promoting inter-linking of Tabularium on New Southwales State, CRS(Commonwealth Record Series), database system of Canberra National Archives and Australian Government Locator Service. From year 2005, as dictates, any record management system, serving public agency will be required to adapt Professional Archives Management System, which, by far, will enhance the inter-compatibility. In its application, the government need Thesaurus to eliminate possible redundancy in use of terminology and to promote correct usage of words.

The main purpose of this study is to analyse and evaluate the metadata elements of 'Records System' and 'Electronic Document System' specifications for Korean government agencies based on functional requirements of ISO 15489. This present paper begins with discussing the characteristics of recordskeeping metada, and extract the metadata elements fulfilling the ISO 15489 functional requirements. And this study tries to compare the metadata elements of current specifications with ISO 15489 elements. Based on these analyses, it suggests the directions for improving current metadata specifications and for developing national metadata standard.

ISO 15489:2001 addresses the principles and requirements with which organizations, both public and private, should comply on the management of their records to ensure that adequate records are created, captured and managed. The standard defines the characteristics that a record should have through records management system as follows: authenticity, reliability, integrity, and usability. Authenticity means that records can be proven to be what it purports to be, to have been created or sent by the person purported to have created or sent it, and to have been created or sent at the time purported. Reliability means that the contents of the records can be trusted as a full and accurate representation of the transactions, activities or facts to which they attest and can be depended upon in the course of subsequent transactions or activities. Integrity refers to ensuring that a record is complete and unaltered. Usability means that records can be located, retrieved, presented and interpreted. In order to have these characteristics, a record should be persistently linked to the metadata necessary to document a transaction. Metadata is "data describing context, content and structure of records and their management through time." Metadata ensure the creation and maintenance of authentic, reliable and usable records and the protection of the integrity of those records. It could be implemented by creating and capturing records management metadata in systems that create and manage records. There have been some projects and standard initiatives to identify a core set of records management metadata. Included are the Australian Recordkeeping Metadata Standard and the British Metadata Standard which is part of the Requirements for Electronic Records Management System. Recently ISO/TS 23081-1 is published to implement metadata requirements within the framework of ISO 15489. Public records management system in Korea is ruled by the Act on the Management of Archives by Public Agencies and Administrative Records Management Regulation. This article evaluates records and their descriptive elements captured and maintained by the records management system in Korea on the basis of the international metadata standards.

This study investigated the perceived significance of laboratory(lab) notebooks and the creation and maintenance of them from the perspectives of graduate students and professors in science fields. Semi-structured interviews of three professors and four graduate students were conducted. The interviewees were from three university laboratories of physics, chemistry and biological science. While professors perceived administrative continuity to be a reason for creating lab notebooks, students valued lab notebooks as a memory, and emphasized learning professional knowledge and skills through the recordkeeping practice. Students understood the ownership of lab notebooks and professors wanted to keep lab notebooks until they retire. Interviewees focused more on the content of lab notebooks rather than the form and the structure. They were also not willing to adopt an electronic lab notebook system. Students learned how to create lab notebooks through a course, their current or former academic advisors, seniors in the lab or well-written sample lab notebooks. In particular, students have learned how to create lab notebooks within their laboratories, which are considered to be communities of practice. In this sense, professors responsible for managing laboratories play an important part in teaching students the recordkeeping practice. University archives should also be more concerned with managing and preserving lab notebooks created from their universities.

There should be an integration between work management and records management in order to document the work processes thoroughly. It's proper to establish a records classification system to have the work classification and record classification table integrated for that purpose. But the conventional procedures and methodology used for records classification system development lack specific features to be used as voluntary guidelines of a common organization or group and to conduct analysis. Recognizing the problems, this study suggested the specific methods of records classification system development to link work management and records management organically. First, the functional classification was chosen as the principle of classification for records classification system development. Then concrete methods of records classification system development were suggested. Analysis and comparison were made for the DIRKS(Designing and Implementing Recordkeeping Systems), which is the standard records management and work analysis of Australia, and AS 5090. The results were used to suggest specific methods of records classification system development in conjunction with the research into the methodology employed for work analysis in information engineering and business administration to compensate for its weakness. The significance of the study can be found in that it suggested the methods of typical records classification system development in connection with records classification, and that it applied them to the Presidential Committee for the Inspection of Collaborations for Japanese Imperialism and tested them.

The purpose of this study was to identify the records management system through the United States Records Management Act. The focus was on dividing its record management system into a state with the federal government, and looking at the operations. State records management does not cover all states, so it cited cases in Wisconsin and California where the systems are thought to have been best overhauled. The characteristics of the United States' recordkeeping system in this study are likely to be summarized in three ways: independence and autonomy of records management are guaranteed, many exchanges with cultural institutions in the region, and a historical society that is greatly influenced by them.

Records at closed private universities are simply kept in stacks without the use of records classification systems. However, the systematic management of such records is needed as these are important records that have legal and evidential value during the litigation process. Therefore, this study intends to develop a classification system for recordkeeping at closed private universities aiming to eliminate unnecessary follow-up procedures that may occur because of the absence of a records classification system, and to develop practical tools for managing records at closed universities. To this end, Seonam University, among the 13 transfer records kept by the Korea Advancing Schools Foundation, was selected as the example for this study. The peculiarities of the closing processes and the catalogs of the transfer records were reviewed, and a business function analysis was conducted. Based on the Guidelines for Prescribing Retention Period of University Records by the National Archives and the Ministry of Education, a records classification system for the closed private universities was proposed for the Records Disposition Schedule to handle the uniqueness of closed universities.
