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.

  • Ensure you only deposit preservable digital objects into the repository.
Preservable digital objects are vital for access by future researchers and for data interoperability.
