The objective of digital preservation is to ensure that digital information survives in usable form for as long as it is wanted That is to ensure long-term access to digitally stored information. The preservation of digital objects involves a variety of challenges, including policy questions, institutional roles, legal and rights issues, metadata, and technical strategies. In this paper, I introduce the definition of digital object life-cycle of digital object and related archiving workflow which are basic concepts of digital archiving. Also I focus on the aspects of current techniques used in digital information preservation including technology preservation, emulation, refreshing, migration, encapsulation.

Although the important information are significantly increasing in the Web, it is easily disappeared because of the Web's characteristics. The purpose of this paper is researching and developing of base technology for archiving web records. First developing about the workflow which is the procedure of web archiving, and developing about metadata elements, the essential condition of preserving web records and accessing archived resources. Finally developing the architecture defined the overall items of web records archiving.

Scattered satellite images were collected and converted from TDF to HDF as a standard format. We reviewed all the metadata on the images domestic and abroad and set up the metadata for the meteorological satellite images and naming rules in KMA. The satellite information search system that meteorological satellite images were in service with metadata for public and academic fields was implemented for quick search and download. This system will facilitate satellite images for various academic purposes beyond KMA and management functions of the system make routine workflow to manage satellite images in an ease and standardized way.

웹은 급속하게 변화하는 현대사회에서 정부와 시민들의 주요 의사소통의 채널이 되고 있다. 웹에서 유통되는 정보량이 급증하면서 정보원으로서의 웹에 대한 의존도가 크게 높아졌을 뿐만 아니라 전적으로 웹에만 존재하는 정보자원도 증가하고 있다. 중요한 가치를 지닌 웹사이트는 짧은 수명주기와 수집, 보존, 활용에 대한 방안이 없어 소멸되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 웹 기록물 아카이빙을 위한 기반기술로 워크플로우 및 메타데이터 정의가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 웹 기록물을 아카이빙하기 위해 선별, 수집, 품질관리 및 목록화, 보존, 저장으로 구성되는 워크플로우 및 장기 보존과 검색에 필수적인 메타데이터를 정의하였다. 이러한 연구 개발 및 적용을 통해 사라져 가는 중요한 자원인 웹 기록물을 후대에 중요한 기록물 자원으로 저장 및 관리할 수 있게 될 것이다.

The role of radiology department has been greatly increased in the past few years as the technology in the medical imaging devices improved and the introduction of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) to the conventional film-based diagnostic structure is a truly remarkable factor to the medical history. In addition, the value of using digital information in medical imaging is highly expected to grow as the technology over the computer and the network improves. However, the current medical practice, using PACS is somewhat limited compared to the film-based conventional one due to a poor image quality. The image quality is the most important and inevitable factor in the PACS environment and it is one of the most necessary steps to more wide practice of digital imaging. The existing image quality control tools are limited in controlling images produced from the medical modalities, because they cannot display the real image changing status. Thus, the image quality is distorted and the ability to diagnosis becomes hindered compared to the one of the film-based practice. In addition, the workflow of the radiologist greatly increases; as every doctor has to perform his or her own image quality control every time they view images produced from the medical modalities. To resolve these kinds of problems and enhance current medical practice under the PACS environment, we have developed a program to display a better image quality by using the ROI optical density of the existing gray level values. When the LUT is used properly, small detailed regions, which cannot be seen by using the existing image quality controls are easily displayed and thus, greatly improves digital medical practice. The purpose of this study is to provide an easier medical practice to physicians, by applying the technology of converting the H-D curves of the analog film screen to the digital imaging technology and to preset image quality control values to each exposed body part, modality and group of physicians for a better and easier medical practice. We have asked to 5 well known professional physicians to compare image quality of the same set of exam by using the two different methods: existing image quality control and the LUT technology. As the result, the LUT technology was enormously favored over the existing image quality control method. All the physicians have pointed out the far more superiority of the LUT over the existing image quality control method and highly praised its ability to display small detailed regions, which cannot be displayed by existing image quality control tools. Two physicians expressed the necessity of presetting the LUT values for each exposed body part. Overall, the LUT technology yielded a great interest among the physicians and highly praised for its ability to overcome currently embedded problems of PACS. We strongly believe that the LUT technology can enhance the current medical practice and open a new beginning in the future medical imaging.
