... Such archives should be adequately supported with long-term funding. Organizations and individuals charged with coping with the explosive growth of Earth and space digital data sets should develop and offer tools to permit fast discovery and efficient extraction of online data, manually and automatically, thereby increasing their user base.

... The files compressed using lossless compression may require the use of a decompression algorithm in order to be read by the application that created them, but once decompressed, the resulting file is essentially identical to the original. Lossy compression algorithms achieve greater compression ratios at the cost of the loss of some portion of the information contained in the original.

... It is not the same in other fields, although the technology is available. The WDS faces certain challenges however In order to accommodate at the same time giant data facilities, such as the NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers or NOAA National Data Centers, and very small facilities such as the WDC for Earth Tides, the same model will not work equally well.
