SIARD_KR is an administrative information dataset preservation tool. It is a partially modified version of SIARD, technology used for long-term preservation of relational databases developed by the Swiss Federal Archives, to suit Korea's situation better. Previous studies have focused on how SIARD is able to effectively extract all data contained in the relational database without loss. However, not all data contained in the database is meaningful information, that is, an administrative information dataset. This paper began, therefore, with the awareness of the problem of whether SIARD_KR reflects the characteristics of the administrative information dataset. SIARD_KR is not only a tool for extracting data stored in the DB. We want to see if it is capable of identifying and extracting only meaningful information, and maintaining meaningful information, even if it is separated from the original system. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the structure of SIARD_KR, identify expected problems, and suggest improvement measures for them.

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.

For the record management of administrative information datasets in Korea, it is recommended to utilize SIARD as a transfer specification when transferring administrative information datasets. However, there are many cases where the application of SIARD is not suitable due to the record management unit of administrative information datasets, technical limitations of tools that support SIARD, and the realistic situation of public institutions. In this study, we propose a plan to diversify the transfer specifications of administrative information datasets other than SIARD. In the record management of administrative information datasets, the need to reproduce the user interface associated with the dataset has been discussed but not specifically presented. This study confirms that the user interface is a property to be preserved from the perspective of Significant Properties, proposes a method to effectively reproduce the user interface, and provides an example of actual verification.

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.

Since the enactment of the Act on the Management of Presidential Archives in 2007, the cases of electronic records transfer in the 16th President Roh Moo-hyun's administration have played the role of an advance guard in managing public records and served as a test bed for new electronic records management. When transferring the electronic records of the 19th President Moon Jae-in's administration, the electronic records transfer method of President Roh's administration was inherited, while several innovative attempts were made. For instance, the Presidential Archives have for the first time converted the electronic documents from institutions advising the President into a long-term preservation package and transferred them online. In addition, considering the characteristics of the data, the administrative information dataset of the Presidential record creation institutions was transferred to the SIARD standard. Furthermore, the Presidential Archives had websites transferred in the form of OVF as a pilot test and collected social media directly through the API. Thus this study investigated the transition process of the presidential electronic records transfers from the 16th President Roh Moo-hyun's administration to the 19th President Moon Jae-in's. In addition, major achievements and issues were analyzed centering on the transfer method by type of electronic records during President Moon Jae-in's administration, and future improvement plans were presented.
