That=E2=80=99s a great idea!  Maybe it=E2=80=99s not a good idea to store t=
hat info in
the database of the Data Service though.  (Web browsers could query the
SWH API by themselves actually, though it=E2=80=99d be nice to have a JS-fr=

variant.)

The =E2=80=98archival=E2=80=99 linter does that.  See also the examples at:
