As the importance of data grows because of the advent of the next industrial revolution, foreign countries are pushing for long-term data preservation technology research. On the other hand, in Korea, administrative information data sets have been legislated as records management areas without specific long-term preservation measures. As a response, this study conducted basic, cross-validation tests on the Software Independent Archiving of Relational Database (SIARD), which was proposed as an administrative information data set preservation format in several prior works. First, the underlying verification test focuses on deriving the data, structure, and functionality of the data set that SIARD can preserve. The second cross-validation test aimed at verifying the interoperability of SIARD independent of the DBMS class. In addition, two verification tests have confirmed the SIARD feature delivery range. Consequently, the differences between the feature types specified in the SIARD 2.0 standard and those provided by the actual SIARD Suite have been derived. Based on verification test results, we are proposing a development plan to broaden SIARD functionality and set a direction to efficiently enhance SIARD for local situations.

As the use of information has emerged as the core of national competitiveness, major developed countries and the Korean government have realized the importance of data. They have pursued technical research and standard establishment for long-term preservation and continuously strived for systematic management and preservation of data. However, although various types of data are specified for the purpose of record management in the law, there is no specific method on how to collect, manage and preserve them, except standard electronic documents. In particular, management and preservation of huge datasets from the administrative information system have been strongly demanded above all. Any guidelines for datasets do not have been properly provided. After the framework for selecting preservation format must be prepared, the system can be supplemented and built. The framework considering the characteristics of the dataset should be specified more concretely, and empirical verification of the conversion and restoration for the dataset preservation format derived according to the selection criteria is necessary. Therefore, this study intends to propose a method for long-term preservation through empirical verification of the preservation format after deriving an evaluation the framework for the preservation format selection criteria considering the characteristics of the dataset.
