Step 2 - Persistent URL and Preservable Digital Objects
  • Decide on a hostname (URL) for the repository.
  • This name should be short and simple to remember, easy to type into documentation and good for marketing/branding.
  • Ensure the name will never change and that it has a clean URL with no forward slash redirect.
  • Ensure you only deposit preservable digital objects into the repository.

The persistent URL is vital for electronic citation persistence on the web in the long term and for repository marketing/branding.
Preservable digital objects are vital for access by future researchers
