The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of long-term preservation policy for electronic records in Korea and to present future tasks. Although the current electronic record long-term preservation policy is not clearly codified, it can be said to consist of technical elements such as digital signature, hash, preservation format, and long-term preservation package. Each technological element was considered in order, and the limitations of the current policy and technology in the changing digital environment were analyzed and alternatives were presented.

The present study aims at developing a policy framework for the long-term preservation of authentic digital records. To accomplish this, the study analyzed the main research outcomes from InterPARES(International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic System: IP). It has (1) selected major outcomes from IP project, (2) disassemble principles and guidelines suggested by IP into individual concepts and components, (3) rearranged them into a conceptual framework, which has been used as a basis for the policy framework, and finally (4) developed a policy framework for the long-term preservation of authentic digital records. The policy framework suggested here could serve as a basis for either establishing national or institutional policy or developing standards and guidelines for long-term preservation of authentic digital records.

This study proposes the functional elements for long-term preservation of electronic records, which are parts of nation's important records and information assets. For this purpose, We compared the international standard ISO 14721 with international research projects and digital archives systems from multi-nations. We identified 18 functional elements for long-term preservation of electronic records. They can be used as the basis to strengthen authenticity and usability when building new digital archive systems or upgrading existing systems at the Archival Institutions.

In this paper we explain the definition and component of electronic records, and reestablish the principle of the preservation. Also we discuss the conceptual approaches and requirements for long-term preservation in an electronic environment. The preservation in digital environment is to protect itself of record identity with the reliability and authenticity, and to ensure the accessibility of records. It needs to be periodical migration along with digital environment change for the long-term preservation of the electronic records. and to select software independent standard format. to ensure the integrity of electronic records along with this preservation strategy, process and relative information required for digital preservation are to record in the form of metadata. The preservation system is separated into four functional entities ; registration process, preservation process, access process, main record management system. Also, this article is conceptually to introduce the selection criteria of storage media, the security provision for the archive collections and the disaster recovery which apply to the digital archives.

In the field of cultural heritage, for the purpose of its preservation and restoration, cultural heritage has been recorded using three-dimensional (3D) digital technology. However, these 3D digital records are a large-scale digital record produced through complicated steps from point cloud data acquisition to 3D model production, and long-term preservation problems cannot be avoided. With international discussions are ongoing, this study looks into the preservation direction of the cultural heritage 3D digital records based on precedent research and case analysis.

For long-term preservation of electronic records, the information on the whole processes of management from the time of creation of the electronic information should be captured and managed together. Such information is supported by preservation metadata thus the implementation of preservation metadata is important for preservation of electronic records maintaining the record-ness. Preservation metadata is the information that supports the process of digital preservation and functions th maintain long-term viability, renderability, understandability, authenticity and identity of digital resources. Preservation metadata should be developed applying the international standard Reference Model for an Open Archival Information System(OAIS) to have international interoperability for exchange and reuse. Initial international preservation metadata schemas were developed standardizing the OAIS Reference Model. But the preservation metadata schema of Victorian Electronic Records Strategy(VERS) and recently published Data Dictionary of PREMIS Working Group were developed in advanced types that are different from the existing framework. Those were advanced th practical ones from conceptual one. Comparing these two cases, proposed the elements of integral preservation metadata for long-term preservation of electronic records. This thesis has the significance that it has suggested the direction for future development of the elements of preservation metadata by setting the past discussions related to preservation metadata in order and proposing integral preservation metadata elements for long-term preservation of electronic records.

Unlike paper records, accessing electronic records needs to be supported by specific combination of hardware and software. The electronic records have longer life span than the storage media, hardware, software and the formats that were used for the production of such records. Because the quality of electronic record can become deteriorated as time goes on, we need to have appropriate mechanisms to secure the long-term preservation and access to the digital information at a certain point in the future. Based on this reality, this study proposes the functions and the development method of the format registry, which efficiently supports the preservation strategy such as migration and emulation, collecting and managing technical information elements. These elements consist of the foundation of the long-term preservation of the electronic records.

The greatest mission of archival community lies in collecting records to document past and present Korean society and in safeguarding them to pass over to the next generation. For the last decade, Korean archival community has actively pursued this mission and accomplished it to the certain extent. A series of events occurred during the last year urged the community to regretfully accept that the so-called accomplishment was by no means satisfactory. The present study aims to review what has been achieved against what should be if the community is to be truthful to the fundamental mission. It begins with addressing attributes of electronic records. To be specific, attributes of electronic records as 'records' are compared against those as 'digital objects.' Current state of long-term preservation of electronic records is reviewed. Suggestions follow in terms of four directions: establishing a policy framework based on principles of electronic records management, building integrated electronic records management system, researching and developing functionalities for long-term preservation, and finally, knowledge transfer and coordination.

In the fast growing digital environment, assuring continued authenticity is an essential and intransigent preservation consideration for digital data and records. Several key issues need to be addressed, including: What are electronic records and data?; Which intellectual and technical elements of data and records are essential for assuring authenticity in electronic format?; How should these be maintained and preserved over time?; How are authentic data and records used in various systems of practice?; and What are the best strategies of preserving authentic electronic records and data?. There have been many research projects to answer these questions to date. This paper discusses the characteristics of electronic records in light of preservation consideration and reports the activities and findings of some of the research projects in brief. This paper focuses on explaining the InterPARES (International Research on Permanent Authentic Records in Electronic Systems) Project, which is defining requirements for authenticity that can help develop strategies for long-term preservation in electronic records. To identify those requirements, more than thirty case studies have been conducted with government agencies, academic institutions, and various organizations in America, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia and models developed for appraisal, preservation, and strategies in relation to the management of electronic records. The paper also suggests research questions and implications for preserving authentic electronic records as well as the encouragement for Korean research on digital preservation.
