From page 1...
... to provide advice on archiving and providing access to the broad range of environmental and geospatial data collected by NOAA and its partners. With limited resources and enormous growth in data volumes, NOAA seeks input on how to identify the observations, data and derived products that should be preserved in perpetuity and made readily accessible versus those that require limited access and storage lifetimes.

From page 2...
... This document will include an expanded set of principles and guidelines, illustrated with examples, that NOAA and its partners can use to identify the observational and generated data that should be preserved indefinitely versus those that require only limited storage lifetimes or can be readily regenerated from archived first-stream input, and also the extent to which a wide variety should be made available. A more extensive discussion of the specific scientific requirements for data access and data stewardship, including climate change detection and analysis, will also be included, as will further discussion of funding issues, both in general and in the context of specific archiving and access strategies for individual data streams.
