Data are accessible through a server:
- Each dataset has an associated server
- Data are distributed throughout computers on the Internet
- Data may be located at many different types of sites including
national archive centers and individual researcher's computers
A system that places essentially no restriction on the data it
makes available raises a number of issues about data validity.
However, this problem is a network-wide problem which must be
addressed in a comprehensive fashion.
