What is the highest-level concept in the digital preservation universe? (Assuming that it's possible to choose one...)

Save
Preserve
Sustain

Whatever we decide it is, all the other concepts should fall under it. So, if, for example, we decide "save" is the highest-level concept, then all the items below should be the high-level motivations that would compel someone to save something...

"Retrieval"

Memory
Evidence
Maintain

"Accumulation"

Reserve
Hoard
Monopolize
Sustain
Retain

"Sharing"

Educate
Knowledge
Help
Rescue
Innovation
Creativity
Competitiveness
Engagement
Communication
Leadership
Efficiency

"Investment"

"Investment" has a slightly different meaning than "saving." With investment you expect the value to grow over time, while "saving" may be limited to the "security" of the item. So, why would someone invest?

Growth
Wealth
Modernization
Hedge
Value

"Risk Mitigation"

"Loss" is a different motivation than either of the two above. It's the negative emotional side of "save." Included in this concept somewhere is the idea that people are compelled to save by outside forces. A list...

Loss
Fear
Culpability
Risk
Defense
Escape
Guard
Aversion
Salvation
Protect
Safety
Change
Prevention


"Salvation" (outside of scope?)
