What's the need?
Open data publishers, whether individual organizations or aggregators, are often not built with long-term stewardship in mind. Specifically, they may not account for dataset versioning, digital preservation workflows and metadata, or a long-term commitment to data availability

What you can do:
Archive and preserve civic data in a library-managed repository or in partnership with an external repository.
