If information
with guarantee of existence is linked more often it will be,
according to the ranking mechanisms described above, better ranked
and thus more likely to be found. The described logic might cause
organisations and projects, which want to achieve high public
awareness, to develop an interest in providing information with long
guarantees of existence.
In this
context, it pays to look at the development of international and
cross-organizational research projects such as EU-projects. The wish
to publish research results for a broad audience causes the topic of
online publishing to gain importance. However, it is not
sufficient to publish results online. Instead, it must also be
possible to find the results. A long-term, beneficial strategy might
be to provide online information with long guarantees of existence on
a grand scale.
