The shared digital archive is an organization of people and systems dedicated to capturing, preserving and making more widely available to the international scholarly community the intellectual output of each university’s faculty, staff, and students. This archive serves as an indicator of participating universities' quality and impact, and demonstrates the scientific, social, and economic relevance of our research activities. It also serves as an archive of historical and other materials that broadly support the academic missions of each institution.
I think it's a great start and should work fine with perhaps a few minor edits. Given our discussion of what kind of content we'll accept, I do have a few questions
- do we want to use the word "archive"? We are promising permanence, so it is archival in that sense, but this is really an access project rather than an archival quality image/document project.
- given our policy on student work, maybe we should end the first sentence by saying "...of each university." and not mentioning students one way or the other.
- not sure of what the last sentence is for. Do we need it?
