The Improvement Direction of Electronic Records Management Systems through the Analysis of ISO 15489 Revision
In April 2016, ISO 15489 was revised. ISO 15489 is the standard for current and semi-current record management as a touchstone. The revision of ISO 15489 is intended to provide concepts and principles in a full-fledged electronic records management environment, whereas the enactment of ISO 15489 in the past was aimed at encompassing the paper records management environment and the electronic records management environment.
In Korea, the principle of ISO 15489 and the record management methodology had become important standards in the revision of the ‘Public Records Management Act’ of 2006 from the ‘Public Records Management Act’ of 1999. Therefore, the revision of ISO 15489 is likely to affect institutional improvement of electronic records management in the future. However, there is a lack of relevant study about the revision of ISO 15489.
Therefore, we analyze the revised ISO 15489 and try to analyze its impact on electronic records management in the Public Records Management Act. We analyze before and after the revision of ISO 15489 by structure and contents. Particularly, in content analysis, the analysis is done in terms of the characteristics of records and record system, policies and responsibilities, appraisal, records controls, and record management process.
Based on the revised factor obtain, this study proposes the direction of improvement of Electronic record management system in ‘Public Records Management Act’. The improvement direction derived from this study is as follows.
First, the concept of records should be expanded and the basic principles of record management system should be strengthened. Second, policies and responsibilities should be specified. Third, the concept of appraisal and creation of records should be modified and expanded. Fourth, records control should be strengthened. And lastly, use and reuse should be expanded in the record management process.
