Software Application Development to Backing the Legitimacy of Digital Annals: Use of the Diplomatic Archives

As a fundamental design feature of their digital archives, this approach was applied to the project. It has so demonstrated considerable potential in terms of defining and condensing crucial data pieces that support the presumption of authenticity across a wide range of record formats. The purpose of this study is to offer a conceptual technique, which will be referred to as object-oriented diplomacy in this work. This methodology focuses on creating digital records that can maintain their authenticity over time and when they are removed from their original systems. This is accomplished through the extension of archival diplomatic theory and the application of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. A new way to support the presumption of the authenticity of digital records is presented in this study, which makes use of concepts from archival diplomatic theory, which are combined with OOP principles. It is the author's goal that this work may spark a more fruitful collaboration between archivists and records managers and software developers in the development and implementation of digital repositories in the future.
