Matthias Stürmer · 2014
The concept of digital sustainability is mentioned in research on digital preservation as well as on openness topics. Both streams of literature point out the necessary discussion how to create, use, and regulate digital resources in order to maximize their value for our society today and in the future. This paper therefore reviews current work on digital sustainability, presents a list of six characteristics how to define digitally sustainable goods, and draws the link to aspects of e-government.
