#### Archiving
At the end of the data's [life cycle](#data-life-cycle) an evaluation should take place to determine if the data should be archived for possible future analysis.
At the end of the data's [life cycle](#data-life-cycle) an evaluation should take place to determine if the data should be archived for possible future analysis or data auditing.
Future analysis tools will likely yield greater and more accurate results that present tools.
If the results of a future, better analysis results could have practical or historical value (and the archival costs are not prohibitive) archiving the data should be considered.
