Abstract

In the three decades since Brewster Kahle spun up the nonprofit Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, it has scaled up to include government websites and datasets—many of which are essential to the engineering and scientific communities. U.S. government agencies like the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and NASA are critical sources of research data, technical specifications, and standards documentation in pretty much every area where IEEE Spectrum's audience works—AI & computer science, biomedical devices, power and energy, semiconductors, telecommunications…the list goes on.

大量的拷贝保证了资料的安全：数字档案保管员正在将公共信息从记忆洞中拯救出来

自Brewster Kahle创立非营利性互联网档案馆的时光机（Wayback Machine）以来的30年里，它的规模已经扩大到包括政府网站和数据集——其中许多对工程和科学界来说都是必不可少的。美国政府机构，如国家科学基金会、能源部和美国国家航空航天局是研究数据、技术规范和标准文档的重要来源，在IEEE Spectrum的受众工作的几乎每个领域——人工智能和计算机科学、生物医学设备、电力和能源、半导体、电信……名单还在继续。
