- Step 2 - Friendly Persistent URL and Preservable Digital Objects
- While developing your open access policy and digital preservation plan, take time to consider the following as very important strategic imperatives at all times, for a very long term successful repository.
- Decide on a friendly persistent (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.
- The friendly persistent URL is vital for electronic citation persistence on the web in the long term and for repository marketing/branding.
