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 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
