<div class="intro">
|
|
<p>When information is made available on the Web, it is important for the
|
|
integrity of the Web, and the society based upon it, that the URIs used to
|
|
reference information be used well into the future, and that the information
|
|
persist as identified.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To this end, the World Wide Web Consortium hosts (MIT, ERCIM and Keio
|
|
University) make the following pledge: that as far as they are able, for
|
|
resources on the www.w3.org Web site which are declared (see below) to be
|
|
persistent.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<h2>Pledge</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul class="show_items"><li>The hosts will ensure that persistent resources continue to be
|
|
available throughout the life of the Consortium;</li><li>Where a persistent resource is modified, a change history will be
|
|
archived though the archive will <em>not</em> necessarily be available
|
|
publicly;</li><li>Should the W3C be disbanded, then any Web site will be granted the
|
|
right to make a copy (at a different URI) of all public persistent
|
|
resources so long as they are not modified and are preserved in their
|
|
entirety and made available free of charge, and provided the same
|
|
persistence policy is applied to these "historical mirrors." In such
|
|
event, the original http://www.w3.org web site will be handed over for
|
|
management to another organization only if that organization pledges to
|
|
this policy or one considered more persistent.</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>As of this note, persistent resources include:</p>
|
|
<ul class="show_items"><li>The home page "http://www.w3.org/";</li><li>Those which start "http://www.w3.org/" immediately followed by four
|
|
decimal digits;</li><li>Those which start "http://www.w3.org/TR/" immediately followed by four
|
|
decimal digits;</li><li>Those which start with "http://www.w3.org/ns/".</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>No representation is made about the persistence policies for any other
|
|
information on the site.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The intent is to set an example by reducing the failure of links due to
|
|
clumsy management or inadequate commitment to information persistence, and to
|
|
provide a stable reference base of information about W3C-related topics as a
|
|
service to the community.</p>
