ABSTRACT

The composition and structure of Archival Information Packages(AIP) for a long-term preservation of electronic records YIM, JIN HEEIt's neded for the archivists to design a flexible and stable ERMS(Electronic Records Management System) which can ingest and store records through a consistent way and let users search and use records easily what they want. The basis of the design for ERMS are the conceptual composition and the logical and physical structure of the records when they are stored and managed in the ERMS. This paper explains the process of defining components and designing structure of electronic records using 3-layered aproaches which consist of conceptual, logical and physical layer and shows advantages of this approaches. After benchmarking the information models of OAIS which is a reference model for the long-term preservation of digital information objects, this paper aplies the model of AIP to a record as a ‘Record AIP’ and discusses the composition and s t r u c t u r e o f i t . I t ' s a c r i t i c a l t a s k t o i d e n t i f y m a n d a t o r y o r optional metadata groups which consists of the ‘Record AIP’s in the conceptual layer. This paper emphases that the metadata group related to services for the record information to users is required as a result of benchmarking OAIS information models. Various isues about the structure of ‘Record AIP’s are discussed acording to the kind of preservation strategy such as migration or emulation and whethe r the encapsulation of records is required or not in the logical layer.
