| − | Preservation can be thought of as communication with the future. Information that is understood today is transmitted to an unknown system in the future where it will be interpreted and displayed. The future system may have not only different hardware and software, but also different standards for encoding information.

| − | <font color="red">'''The objective is to ensure that the research institutional electronic archive is supported by the institution for the extremely long term.'''</font>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Support policies and procedures should be put in place that ensure the proper technical and financial resources are made available to support the electronic archive system in perpetuity.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Technology that has '''open published standards''' should be used as a platform for the electronic archive system. For example: http://www.dspace.org and http://www.ubuntu.com

| − | <font color="red">'''The objective is to create and store digital objects in the research institutional electronic archive, that can be read by future systems and technology.'''</font>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The objective is to preserve material by [[SUNScholar/Digitisation|converting it to a digital object format]] in such a way that the digital objects created may be read and understood by future technology systems.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The resultant digitised objects must adhere to the following:
| |
| − | # '''<font color="red">Use an uncompressed bitstream for storage</font>'''
| |
| − | # '''<font color="red">Use open, royalty free, published digital format standards and metadata schemas</font>'''

| |
| − | <font color="red">'''The objective is to use and keep on using, a short simple meaningful hostname (internet domain name) for the research institutional electronic archive.'''</font>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each institution should choose a unique internet domain name for the research institutional repository.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''It is very important to avoid changing the internet domain name of the research institutional repository''' as this will impact very negatively on the usefulness of electronic scholarly citations and the capacity of other electronic systems to automatically harvest the electronic archives data using programmed internet bots.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Therefore a simple and meaningful hostname ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Url URL]) is preferred. For example: http://scholar.sun.ac.za
