Requirements concerning production of electronic documents and storage are stipulated in the act on document management of public institutions revised in 2003. However, provisions or standards for long term preservation of electronic documents are insufficient and in need of strengthening. This study aims to provide standard factors for long term preservation of electronic documents and thus lay foundation for long term preservation related matters for the establishment of management strategy, ISO 15489 management factor is analyzed as a necessary framework for long term preservation of electronic record at a production stage. Preservation description information is derived from ISO 14721 which is suggesting document management systems to archival institutions. Through this case study, standard registry factors reflecting ISO 15489 and 14721's are suggested in an attempt to improve the act and system environment for long term preservation and archiving.

Korean public organizations create electronic documents through electronic document management systems under the e-Government scheme. A majority of these public documents are saved in vendor-dependent file formats, mainly HWP. Vendor-dependent formats can be opened only with specific software, which requires purchase. As the license does not guarantee compatibility between past and future versions, interoperability problems occur in long-term preservation, which need to be solved. Any error from the elimination of styles or no matching elements in document definition during conversion from vendor-dependent formats to the XML-based standard exchange format leads to file open failure or the modification of original documents. This study introduces the Open Document Format (ODF) and investigates the effects of adopting ODF in the creation, exchange, management, and preservation of public records.

In the digital age, the most basic unit of records management is a document file. Depending on whether each document file is produced in an open standard format or an exclusive proprietary format, there is a cost difference in the process of use and long-term preservation. As government agencies moved to cloud-based business management systems, web-based document editing software was newly adopted. They had the opportunity to select a new file format for web-based document editing software. This paper deals with strategies to maximize the advantages of open standard formats while considering the legacy public document production practices. It introduces ISO/IEC 26300:2006 ODF, ISO/IEC 29500:2008 OOXML, KS X 6101 OWPML, etc. as open standard formats, and looks at considerations when choosing a format and web-based document editing software. In addition, it proposes a strategy to maintain the format of document files shared in cloud storage as an open standard format.
