This paper investigates what is meant by digital sustainability and
establishes that it encompasses a range of issues and concerns that
contribute to the longevity of digital information. A significant and
integral part of digital sustainability is digital preservation, which
has focused on one technical concern after another as issues and
fashions have shifted over the last twenty years. Digital sustainability
is demonstrated as providing an appropriate context for digital preservation
because it requires consideration of the overall life cycle,
technical, and socio-technical issues associated with the creation and
management of digital items.
