January 12, 2012
Today is the deadline for responses to the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Request for Information (RFI) about long-term stewardship of, and broad public access to, digital data resulting from federally funded research. The Alexandria Archive Institute’s responses included the following five primary recommendations for encouraging public access to and preservation of digital data resulting from federally-funded research:
- Cultivate a distributed information ecosystem
- Cultivate a robust preservation infrastructure
- Encourage data professionalism
- Require non-proprietary data
- Address data ethics
Visit the blog post in Heritage Bytes for details on these recommendations and our responses to the specific questions posed in the RFI. You can also download the PDF version of the AAI’s response: AAI-Comments-FR2011-28621
