Scientific paper

Robert Benson raises interesting points regarding the eGY and the role of world data centers. We share the belief that the WDC system was one of the great achievements of the IGY. We have also supported the many and varied activities of data centers over the years. The eGY is not intended to replace data centers, but rather to enhance them. We believe that data center holdings should be even more accessible than is presently the case, and that governments should support more, not less, active archiving and tending of data. We sincerely hope that people in the community do not interpret the eGY concept as in any way advocating the disbanding of active data centers.
