Session A
"Enhancing the FAIRness of the (meta)data
in the Korean National Debt Redemption Movement Archive (NDRMA)" ABSTRACT
Because we are aiming for the long-term preservation of the Korean National Debt Redemption Movement Archive (NDRMA) as well as an effective plan for distributing digital representations of the documents in the NDRMA and other data describing the NDRMA, it is relevant to implement the FAIR principles to ensure that the (meta)data of the archival resources are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). This presentation will demonstrate a number of smart data approaches and strategies, including semantic enrichment of the archival materials and their metadata, contextualizing at the entitle level, and improving outcomes for both humans and machines in order to maximize the FAIRness of historical and cultural heritage data of the NDRMA and beyond.
