Government seeks advice on data archiving
May 12 2009, 08:27 AM
The government is looking for advice on how it should implement its archive data strategy in a manner that remains accessible to the majority of internet users.
A consultation document on the future archiving of data has been drawn up by the government and the public is now being urged to provide feedback and comments on the concept, in a move designed to improve data quality when it is archived.
"Publicly funded archives have a vital role to play in society: they are the custodians of our collective memory, and an integral part of a healthy and robust democracy," said justice minister Michael Wills, who has responsibility for the National Archives.
He continued: "It is crucial that archival services are able to embrace the digital revolution and start addressing the complex challenges this has created."
The government could be set to significantly increase the amount of data being delivered to the public and businesses alike as part of its Digital Britain plan.
The proposals, which would present new challenges for data quality standards, include ensuring all internet connections are at least two megabits per second, allowing for more information to be delivered through the internet direct to the public.
