1999년 「공공기관의기록물관리에관한법률」이 제정되고 난 후 10년이 지난 현재, 기록관리에 대한 관심은 공공분야에서 문화예술분야로 점차 넓어지고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 문화예술분야 기록의 중요성에 대한 인식이 부족하여 정보의 산재, 기록의 유실 등이 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 하나의 예로, 국내의 많은 문화재는 정확한 매매계약이나 증여증서가 없어 이를 추적하기가 매우 어려운 현실이고, 이러한 문화예술 창작품은 도굴이나 비공개 경매, 공식적이지 않은 유통경로를 통해 떠돌아다니고 있다. 문화예술 창작품은 그 나라의 문화수준을 반영하기에, 유통경로를 아는 것은 그 나라의 문화수준을 가늠하는 척도가 된다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점에서 출발하였다. 경제의 성장과 문화예술에 대한 관심의 증대로 시각예술작품에 대한 중요성 인식이나 가치를 인정하는 사회가 되었으나, 작품에 대한 미적가치만을 앞세우는 작품만능주의 팽배로 시각예술작품의 맥락을 보여주거나 사회와의 소통 과정에서 생산된 기록정보들은 도외시 되었다. 문화예술 선진국에 비하여 국내에서는 유명 작가에 관한 기록, 작품에 녹아 있는 철학 담론에 대한 기록정보들은 흔히 찾아볼 수 없다. 작품을 전시하고 난 후 생산된 기록정보 또한 전시에 앞서 홍보자료나 참고자료로만 이용될 뿐 이를 남기려는 노력은 부족하다. 이에 시각예술기록정보에 대한 중요성을 인식하고, 후대에 예술사적 가치뿐만 아니라 역사적 가치를 전해주기 위해 체계적인 관리가 필요하다고 판단하였다. 최근 시각예술작품이나 시각예술기록정보가 전자적으로 생산된 것이 아니라 하더라도, 작품이나 기록에 대한 관리는 모두 기관의 시스템에서 이루어지고 있기 때문에 메타데이터는 체계적 관리의 필수적인 방안이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시각예술기록정보의 특성을 반영한 다중 엔티티 데이터모델 설계로 시각예술기록을 체계적으로 관리하려 하였다. 메타데이터는 기록이 입수되는 시점부터 관리, 보존 및 활용되는 기록의 모든 과정에서 필요로 한다. 시각예술기록은 객체, 행위주체, 업무, 규정 등과 유기적인 관계를 가질 때 그 가치가 풍부해지진다. 시각예술기록정보 관리를 위한 다양한 맥락정보는 다양한 엔티티들과 함께 관계를 맺는 다중 엔티티 모델로 설계되어야 관리의 효율성이 높아지고, 기록정보에 대한 설명성 또한 높아진다. 때문에 이들을 각자 독립적인 엔티티로 설계하고, 이들의 관계를 지정해주는 방식으로 데이터모델을 설계하여 체계적으로 시각예술기록정보를 관리할 수 있는 방안을 마련하고자 하였다.

Interests in archives management are getting expanded from the public sector into the cultural and artistic field for the ten years after legislation of 「Act on the Management of Public Archives」in 1999. However, due to lack of recognition on the importance of archives in the cultural and artistic field, it is rather frequent that information is kept scattered or archives are lost. As an example, absence of precise contract documents or notes of bestowal keeps people from locating great amount of cultural properties, and because of it these creative properties are in the risk of thefts, the closed-door auctioning, or trades in unofficial channels. As how a nation manages cultural and artistic creation inside the nation reflects its cultural level, it can be said that one of the indexes to notice the extent of a nation’s cultural level is to take a look at how they are circulated. This study started from this point. Growing economy and rising interests in culture and art made the society more cognizant of the importance and value that visual artworks have, but the archives and information which are showing the context of these artworks and are produced in the course of social interaction are relatively disregarded because too much emphasis lies on the work itself. It is harder to find archives or documentations in Korea than in other advanced countries about the artists themselves or philosophical discourse on the background of the artworks. There is not so much interest to preserve the archives and information produced after the exhibition also, and they are used for no more than promotion or reference. Hereupon, the researcher recognized the importance of visual arts archives and believed that systemic management on them are high in need. And metadata is an essential way for the systemic management, as recently management on artworks or their archives are conducted using the system of the agencies even though they are not produced electronically. The objective of this study is to manage visual arts archives systematically by designing a data model reflecting traits of visual arts archives. Metadata are needed in the every course of archives from acquisition to management, preservation and application. Visual arts archives find its rich value only when a systemic relationship is established among information on artist, artwork and events including exhibition. By establishing a Multiple Entity Data Model, in which artworks, artists and events (exhibitions) make relationship all together, metadata for management on visual arts archive gets more efficiency and at the same time explanatory trait of the archive gets higher. For this reason we, in the study, tried to design a data model by setting each as an independent entities and designating relations between them, in order to find a way to manage visual arts archives more systematically.
