ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze classification systems used in the public sector, collected based on legislation, and to improve the classification system for public records. From the Korean Law Information Center, 375 legislative clauses were searched, revealing about 80 classification systems. These systems were initially divided into lists, tables, and hierarchical classifications. Six types of classification system uses were proposed after combining three management types and two system functions. Among these models, classification systems used for core operations in public agencies often had the same entity as both developer and user. While systems adopted from other institutions were often modified as needed, they were predominantly used for reference tasks rather than core operations. However, in records management, crucial tasks such as record classification and disposal commonly use unmodified classification system items developed and managed by other agencies. Consequently, this study proposes that structural improvements are necessary for the record classification system. It suggests developing dedicated classification systems to support core functions or modifying existing systems and also applying records management disposal standards and guidelines to other relevant legislative provisions.
