Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop a process that will facilitate the conversion of archival records created according to the multi-level standard into records created according to the multidimensional conceptual model.Method/approach: The main research method was case study, used to conduct research on the implementation of the proposed process to the archival descrip-tion.. Other methods were descriptive, comparative and analytical. Results: The process consists of five steps and has been presented on the existing description of technical documentation of former factory Tomos Koper. A knowl-edge graph containing entities and links was developed to enhance understanding.Conclusions/findings: Upon completion of the case study, it can be concluded that the presented process is adequate and can be used as a basis for the develop-ment of a software tool for record conversion. However, to ensure the reliability, it will be necessary to test it on a larger number of records and to evaluate it by technical and archival experts.
