Introduction
In order to indefinitely preserve the digital research record of the University, common sense demands that an open and interoperable system be used and that the system be hosted by the University itself.
The internet itself is a perfect example of a technological system that has survived more than twenty years, principally because it was designed and constructed using open standards and software. Using the internet as an example, SUNScholar has been built and is being preserved using the same principles that were applied for the internet.
