本文讨论了网络信息环境中数字档案和元数据的一些关键问题，以保持我们对未来的社区记忆。本文主要基于作者在元数据和数字档案研究活动中获得的经验和教训。 2011年2月至2012年3月，笔者参加了日本总务省主办的数字档案研究小组。该小组讨论了日本数字档案的推广，特别是在记忆机构中的推广。 2011年3月11日发生的东日本大地震给日本东北部地区、特别是太平洋沿岸地区造成了严重破坏。这场灾难极大地影响了小组的讨论。作者学到的基本教训是，建立在强大的信息环境上的数字档案对于保护我们未来的社区记忆安全至关重要。不仅主要数字资源需要为未来妥善维护和保存，辅助资源、元数据和元元数据也需要妥善维护和保存。我们需要使用链接开放数据技术来增强档案中此类数字资源的可用性。
This paper discusses some key issues for digital archives and metadata in a networked information environment to keep our community memory for the future. The paper is based primarily on the experiences and lessons learnt by the author from his research activities on metadata and digital archives. The author participated in a study group on digital archives hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Japanese Government from February 2011 to March 2012. The group discussed the promotion of digital archives in Japan, particularly at memory institutions. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011 caused serious damage in the north-eastern part of Japan, especially the Pacific coastal regions. This disaster significantly affected the discussions of the group. The basic lesson that the author learned is that digital archives built on a robust information environment are essential for keeping our community memory safe for the future. Not only do the primary digital resources need to be properly maintained and preserved for the future but also secondary resources, metadata and meta-metadata. We need to use Linked Open Data technologies to enhance the usability of such digital resources in the archives.
