Internet Archive

The Internet Archive and the Center for Open Science (COS) will prototype innovative social and technical work supporting open science data curation, preservation, and access by libraries and archives. The project will begin by piloting registrations in the COS' Open Science Framework (OSF). It will then pursue technical work for the distribution of this data across additional preservation networks to expand its availability to librarians for curation. The project will then provide related training to a cohort of data stewards, conduct exploratory work to include additional OSF datasets, and test library services supporting bulk access to this data for computational analysis by researchers. These deliverables will develop expertise, prototype interoperability, and expand access methods for an institutionally and technically distributed open data network. The work enables research reproducibility, distributed preservation, and perpetual access, with the goal of uniting researchers and data librarians in the broader mission of open data archiving.
