-<h3>Overview</h3>
-<p>This section will focus how to publish data so that others can rely on it being available in perpetuity, persistently archived if necessary.</p>
-<h3>Definition</h3>
-<p>The following definition is applicable to Linked Open Data.</p>
-<b>Stability.</b> <u>Stable</u> LOD is persistent, predictable and machine accessible from externally visible locations.
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li>Persistent = Information accessible for an unbounded period of time.</li>
- <li>Predictable = Names and information follow a logical format.</li>
- <li>Stable location = Externally visible locations are consistent in name, and availability.</li>
- <li>Other things that impact stability
- <ul>
- <li>legacy = earlier naming schemes, formats, data storage devices</li>
- <li>steward = people who are committed to consistently maintain specific datasets, either individuals or roles in organizations</li>
- <li>provenance = the sources that establish a context for the production and/or use of an artifact. See <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">W3C Provenance working group</a></li>
- </ul>

-<h3>Best practice for Stability</h3>
-
-<p>The length of time information is available is inherently connected to the value placed upon it. If information is deemed valuable, it is likely to persist for a longer period of time. Value, which can change over time, is always determined based on a cost-benefit relationship; Any benefit derived from information is reduced by the cost(s) associated with using it. Increasing stability requires the adoption of a strategy to allocate limited resources for achieving a goal.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Organizational Success Factors</h3>
-<p>Organizational considerations without internal stability from the data stewards, any external technology stability is a challenge. The following are some organization characteristics for stable data.</p>
-<ul>
- <li>Consistent human skills</li>
- <li>Consistent infrastructure</li>
- <li>Data related to organizational values or business needs</li>
- <li>Internal champion or consistent business process</li>
- <li>Internal politics on variation names do not impact external locations</li>
-</ul>

<h3>Stability Properties</h3>
<p><i>These are characteristics that influence the stability or longevity. Many of these properties are not unique to LOD, yet they influence data cost and therefore data value.</i></p>
