This paper propose the "Digital Format Registry(DFR)" to solve the problem related digital objects preservation system in the Korean Industry. Digital format registry is a kind of database that saves syntax and meaning informations of a digital file format and for giving help to make preserve in long-term even technical environment of a specific application has been changing. The role of the Technical Information Registry has been developed in this research and development is maintaining a technical information that is the foundation to maintain the long-term preservation and access to a digital objects. The function that can extract text information from a digital document object is implemented in DFR as a basic function at the first time in the world. This function make information consumers search a information that is needed easily and conveniently and can be used for development more effective records management system with retrieving the Key(index).

This study aims to determine the research trends in archival preservation through keyword analysis, understand the current research status, and identify the research topics' changes over time. The degree and betweenness centrality analyses were conducted and visualized on 463 "archival preservation studies" articles published from 2000 to 2021 in various academic journals, using NetMiner 4.0. The collected research papers were divided into three time periods according to when they were published: the first period (2000-2007), the second period (2008-2014), and the third period (2015-2021). The subject keywords for the research papers on archival preservation in Korea that have influence and expandability are as follows. Across all periods, these were "electronic records" and "long-term preservation." In addition, if taken separately per period, the "OAIS reference model" and "electronic records" dominated the first and second periods, respectively, while the "records management standard table" and "long-term preservation" both dominated the third period. A conceptual framework and theory-oriented study for archival preservation, such as "digital preservation," "digitalization," and the "OAIS reference model," dominated the first period. During the second period, more research focused on procedures and practical applications related to conservation activities, such as "electronic record," "appraisal," and "DRAMBORA." In contrast, the majority of the research in the third period was on technical implementation according to the changes in the records management environment, such as "data set," "administrative information system," and "social media."

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.

The objective of this research is to show the possibilities of emulation strategy in the long-term preservation for the digital components of Korean public agencies. First, this study analyzed four major emulation projects that were conducted in the world, such as CAMiLEON, KB, Planets and KEEP. Second, it compared the three different emulation approaches, such as device emulation, OS emulation and application emulation. Third, it searched all the digital components that one public agency produced during the last six years. Through the search, this study found out that the HWP and XLS format files comprised around 90% of the files. Fourth, it examined the functionalities of the formats, which may have been lost when the format was converted to PDF/A. Last, this study introduced the two prototype emulators for the National Archives of Korea. One is a type of OS emulator, while the other is a type of application emulator.

Electronic records are merely series of bits without understanding the formats of content files. There are numerous types of formats and also possibilities of extinction. For long term preservation, it is essential to understand and manage formats. In addition to managing format itself, accurate information on the format needs to be stored for electronic records. In this study, various types of electronic files, without checking with the naked eye, has developed a tool to extract the header information in the format of electronic files with the file extension validation tool to compare format and validate digital component.

Since the introduction of e-Government in Korea, government departments and public sectors produced a diversity of electronic records. In addition, they generated new electronic records (we are called composite electronic records(CERs)) which are composed of disparate electronic records. Typical examples of CERs are the records of Social Network Services (SNS). Currently, most of the government departments in Korea uses the Facebook Page to announce their policy and to collect feedback from the people. In addition, many CERs are created and produced. However, the government of Korea has no preservation policies about CERs. It causes problems with losing or neglecting a lot of information. Therefore, we presented the type and the characteristics of CERs which are produced by government departments of Korea. Moreover, we analyze and represent the researches of CERs preservation. Finally, we proposed the mechanism to preserve of CERs in Korea.

Digital resources are widely used in our modern society. However, we are facing fundamental problems to maintain and preserve digital resources over time. Several standard methods for preserving digital resources have been developed and are in use. It is widely recognized that metadata is one of the most important components for digital archiving and preservation. There are many metadata standards for archiving and preservation of digital resources, where each standard has its own feature in accordance with its primary application. This means that each schema has to be appropriately selected and tailored in accordance with a particular application. And, in some cases, those schemas are combined in a larger frame work and container metadata such as the DCMI application framework and METS. There are many metadata standards for archives of digital resources. We used the following metadata standards in this study for the feature analysis me metadata standards - AGLS Metadata which is defined to improve search of both digital resources and non-digital resources, ISAD(G) which is a commonly used standard for archives, EAD which is well used for digital archives, OAIS which defines a metadata framework for preserving digital objects, and PREMIS which is designed primarily for preservation of digital resources. In addition, we extracted attributes from the decision tree defined for digital preservation process by Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and compared the set of attributes with these metadata standards. This paper shows the features of these metadata standards obtained through the feature analysis based on the records lifecycle model. The features are shown in a single frame work which makes it easy to relate the tasks in the lifecycle to metadata elements of these standards. As a result of the detailed analysis of the metadata elements, we clarified the features of the standards from the viewpoint of relationships between the elements and the lifecycle stages. Mapping between metadata schemas is often required in the long-term preservation process because different schemes are used in the records lifecycle. Therefore, it is crucial to build a unified framework to enhance interoperability of these schemes. This study presents a basis for the interoperability of different metadata schemas used in digital archiving and preservation.

Traditional paper records have to be preserved in the original form to ensure the authenticity. On the other hand. electronic records have to be continuously changed in content itself or metadata to be preserved in long-term period, so the proof of the legality of each change made so far and the proof of the protection against all the illegal changes are the essential. to ensure these requirements. We need some functions including the authentication of original captured records. the protection of records against the loss or forgery, the authentication of preserved records, and the treatment of authentication-failed records. This paper explains the fragility of authenticity for electronic records, identifies the functions needed, suggests the implementation idea, and describes the overall management polity for electronic records to ensure the authenticity.
