While interoperability between “live” e-government systems has been a major work area during the last decade, the fact that much of this information needs to be preserved for the long-term after the initial creation, and reuse has been of secondary concern. This paper looks into the needs of long-term preservation of digitalborn e-government data and proposes further actions to address the challenge in a cost-effective manner. General Terms infrastructure, communities, strategic environment, digital preservation marketplace, case studies and best practice, training and education.
