Re: [GOAL] Internet Archive Mirroring in Canada to Protect from Trump

[Kathleen Shearer]

Hi Heather, all.

I think OA repositories are already moving in that direction. 

At COAR we are trying to promote widespread data exchange between repository 
networks so that there is redundancy across networks and multiple copies around 
the world. 

There is already significant sharing of metadata across networks -OpenAIRE, LA 
Referencia, SHARE, JAIRO (Japan), CORE and others - but I foresee in the near 
future that this will move beyond just metadata to fulltext. Actually some 
networks already are harvesting full text.

Fundamental to our vision is that there is distribution of the control of 
scholarly resources (pre-prints, post-prints, research data, supporting 
software, etc.). Without this, a small number of actors can gain too much 
control.

Best, Kathleen

Re: [GOAL] Internet Archive Mirroring in Canada to Protect from Trump

[Heather Morrison]

Thank you for the alert, Stevan.

This might be a good moment to consider / re-consider the question of archiving 
for sustainable long-term open access. It is true that Canada is not the U.S. - 
but the U.S. is our main trading partner and a friendly neighbour but also a 
very powerful neighbour with whom we share not only a very long border but also 
intelligence information.

I argue that multiple copies of archives, not only in friendly neighbouring 
countries but also in regions that are different both geographically and 
politically, is in the best long-term interests of ongoing sharing of our 
collective knowledge.

Thoughts?
