Viability

Repository established in 2013. All data will be retained for as long as the repository remains operational. Morphosource is currently establishing mechanisms for the transfer of governance and long-term community support to ensure the repository’s sustainability. There are also plans to establish a network of repositories to enable data transfer in the event that one of the infrastructures closes.
