Abstract
Archival context is a crucial concept in archival science, closely related to provenance. We explore the definitions and types of archival context, the relationship between archival context and provenance, and how archival context can be modeled. Our investigation suggests that archival context encompasses three dimensions: creation context, description context, and usage context. Provenance is further enriched through multiple perspectives and networks of interacting activity systems. We propose a Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT)-based model as a tool to systematically illustrate archival context and capture essential aspects of archival context. This model presents both a static view of archival context at the micro-level and a dynamic view at the macro-level using an event-centered approach.
期刊介绍：
Archival Science promotes the development of archival science as an autonomous scientific discipline. The journal covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practice. Moreover, it investigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and data. It also seeks to promote the exchange and comparison of concepts, views and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the world.Archival Science''s approach is integrated, interdisciplinary, and intercultural. Its scope encompasses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context. To meet its objectives, the journal draws from scientific disciplines that deal with the function of records and the way they are created, preserved, and retrieved; the context in which information is generated, managed, and used; and the social and cultural environment of records creation at different times and places.Covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practiceInvestigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and dataPromotes the exchange and comparison of concepts, views, and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the worldAddresses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context
