Data.gov serves as an aggregator of datasets and research across the entire government, meaning it isn’t a single database. This makes it slightly harder to archive than any individual database, according to Mark Phillips, a University of Northern Texas researcher who works on the End of Term Web Archive, a project that archives as much as possible from government websites before a new administration takes over.

Idée liée à l’open content : favoriser la réutilisation c’est lutter contre la disparition, parce que les données/archives sont utilisées, elles “existent” et mènent une nouvelle vie. Idée de dissemination pour la préservation.
