“[An] archive will allow published research to be connected to its sources in ways that support new analyses and new executions of the systems under study. We believe that this represents not a small enhancement to current practice, but instead, a change to the process of publishing itself.”

“We imagine a day in which every published paper is electronically connected to its source material: not just the data that supports the paper’s conclusions, but also all of the software that was used to obtain and analyze the data…”

“Moreover, all the source material is organized in ways that show the history of the research (provenance) and directly allow the activities to be re-executed (replayed) and extended by anyone, at any time.”
