Sustainability considerations

Evaluating your project

• What is the expected duration of the project?
  • Does the project have an end point? 
• Is it a data driven project? or is it a tool or application?
  • Data sustainability vs. system sustainability.
• Do you want or need sustainability?

Archiving

• Where will it be archived?
• Archiving data
• Archiving code

Funding

• Does it need continued funding to keep it alive? to preserve it?
• Funding for future.
• Institutional support – cf. maintenance; DARIAH - integrate into infrastructure; 
• Exit strategies - getting data in and getting data out
• GitHub and other sources for code.
