MOW 디지털 관련 권고의 한계와 ‘디지털 기록유산’ 정책 방향

Abstract

Based on the <Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage> enacted in 2003, this paper analyzes the contents of the <Recommendation Concerning the Preservation of, and Access to, Documentary Heritage Including in Digital Form> issued at the 38th General Assembly of UNESCO in 2015. Through this, we will identify the issues of ‘digital heritage’ in the field of documentary heritage and examine the UNESCO Memory of the World registration policy. The 21st century has changed so rapidly that it can be said to be a transition to a digital-based society. This society means that digital has moved to the stage of reorganizing society and people, and furthermore, it means that we are in an era where all records are produced and preserved digitally. As a result, most records were produced and distributed digitally, and various issues regarding digital-based registration and preservation began to arise in the documentary heritage business as well. Therefore, we need to look at what issues ‘digital heritage’ has in the field of documentary heritage following the transition to a digital society, and especially how these issues are being materialized in the MOW project. This is why we will examine the scope and limitations of the concerns and content presented in the <Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage> and its successor, the <Recommendation Concerning the Preservation of, and Access to, Documentary Heritage Including in Digital Form>, and examine issues in the field of ‘digital documentary heritage’. This paper first identifies the goals and direction of the MOW project (Chapter 2) and summarizes issues that may arise in MOW registration with the emergence of digital heritage (Chapter 3). This paper analyzes the <Recommendation Concerning the Preservation of, and Access to, Documentary Heritage Including in Digital Form> on this basis. Through this, we will examine UNESCO’s understanding of digital heritage and its limitations, and consider how discussions in the field of ‘digital documentary heritage’ should proceed in the future (Chapter 4). Through this, we believe that we will be able to confirm UNESCO's direction and limitations regarding ‘digital heritage’ in the field of documentary heritage, as well as the content of discussions and policy directions that should be further advanced in the future.
