According to a popular definition, "go back to " means "have existed since". Then there is this sentence:
( niemanlab.org/2009/03/the-guardian-ups-the-ante-on-apis/ )
"But to provide full-text access to all Guardian news articles going back to 1999, and to allow all of this data and more to be used in profit-making ventures as well, takes the whole effort to another level entirely."
Could this be an error, because there is no way that every single new article has existed since 1999. Would this be better:
"...access to all Guardian news articles, some going back to 1999, and ..."
