Data Security Standards: Integrity and Availability | 2007-07-31 | University of Michigan |
| The Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences (Data-PASS) was formed to take shared responsibility for the long-term accessibility to social science datasets that are of value to current and future researchers and policy-makers.

This paper outlines standards for the security of materials acquired for the Data-PASS project.
