“…When looking for opportunities to reduce cost price, the most important task is not to impair the quality of the product by the means chosen. Even a slight reduction in cost price leads to better sustainable performance (Eschenfelder et al 2016). Therefore, this argument also confirms the importance of the technological dimension in sustainable activity of companies.…”

“…Water management, sanitation, transport, production and use of energy, production issues, communication, use of agricultural commodities, education and health care issues, and other components of the company's activities can be regarded as the basis of sustainable technology the level of sustainability of application of which is seen by many researchers as a determinant of the company's performance. Eschenfelder et al (2016) basically supports the inclusion of the technological dimension into the concept of sustainability, confirming that technology determines the degree of sustainability of company's practice and, consequently, its performance. Those authors argue that it is very important for companies to define and adhere to the exact process standards when selecting business technology.…”

Enterprises that seek for sustainable development should align economic interests with environmental and social requirements. It is not enough to take into account just these basics components. Technology plays a significant role in company activity. The aim of this article is to highlight the relationship between the dimensions characterising sustainability and to take a deeper look at the structure of the concept of sustainability, so that to understand in more detail the completeness of the dimensions of sustainability. For achieving this aim is necessary through the analysis of researchers’ opinions to apply the logical assessment, systematisation, and comparison of information, selects the most important information describing the sustainability of technology, highlights the relationships between the technological aspect of sustainability and other sustainability dimensions, evaluates the technological processes of the corporate product in terms of sustainability, clarifies and presents arguments highlighting the importance of the technological aspect in sustainable business activity, rejects inappropriate arguments, identifies links between the arguments, and, basing on the information, proves and/or formulates anew some logical considerations to justify the full competency of the technological dimension in the sustainable development framework. Article proved that sustainable development contains the technological dimension which is added to the four classical dimensions and serves as an axis that determines the contents of other sustainability parts.

“…For SGS LTER, new partnerships and new forms of connectivity took time to cultivate but supported migration of long‐term data and ultimately an exemplar of a long view of data stewardship. Partners hold the potential to provide redundancy in data repositories as well as some measure of sustainability during all phases of research projects (Eschenfelder et al 2016).…”

“…The partners pursued novel options for addressing continued access to SGS LTER assets at a time when concerns relating to sustainability of data repositories represented an emergent challenge of heightened importance (OECD 2017 a , b ). With many facets to sustainability of digital materials to consider (Eschenfelder et al 2016), CSU Libraries was identified as an appropriate host to take long‐term responsibility for a digital legacy project collection due to its potential stability within academic institutions as well as its proximity to the SGS LTER site and its interest in partnering with SGS LTER data management to prototype migration of scientific data. Partnering was one approach to preserving data in a world of changing science, technologies, and institutional arrangements.…”

Long live the data! Embedded data management at a long‐term ecological research site

Open-access data associated with research efforts depend upon managing, packaging, and preserving data for sharing with collaborators and the public. The U.S. Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network, established in 1980, provides an early example of embedded data management supporting long-term, place-based research and contributes to our understanding of the enactment of open data access within scientific research arenas. Here, we examine collective data activities enabled by embedding data management within the Shortgrass Steppe (SGS) research site. Study of the SGS LTER, a member of the U.S. LTER Network for more than three decades, provided a unique opportunity to investigate data management practices and challenges during the life cycle of a long-term project. It illustrates how a continuous, uninterrupted focus on data management positioned in dynamic interaction with researchers at a site as well as with an active network-wide data management committee can stimulate the growth of both data expertise and data infrastructure. We report on an ethnographic study by a collaborative team of researchers, all having been involved with the LTER network and well-positioned for investigating data management challenges faced during the periods of activation, maturation, and decommissioning of a project at a research site. Termination of the SGS site's membership in the U.S. LTER Network prompted rethinking about long-term data management. During the decommissioning phase, we document how views on temporality and data management strategies shift from planning for a longitudinal, ongoing site to wrapping up a long-term project. Striving to ensure "long live the data" at the end, novel data arrangements, such as development of a digital legacy project collection, contribute to data stewardship. Lastly, from this study of a long-term research site, we offer five recommendations about data management and describe strategies pertinent to planning for data management and open access for other research projects.
