Digital continuity management is particularly important to organisations that have a duty to maintain accountability, and to act transparently and legally, such as government and infrastructure companies.
[2] Digital continuity is also an important issue for organisations responsible for maintaining repositories of information in digital form over time, such as archives and libraries.
While there is some overlap among these areas, they should be treated as related but separate issues.
What constitutes usable will be different depending on each organization's needs.
Other digital continuity projects are underway at the Welsh Assembly Government in conjunction with the University of Wales, Newport.,[9] and the National Library of Australia.
