2. Messaging
- Issues to be underscored - data collection is a temporary activity; data become at risk after collection activities due to lack of explicit support for data stewardship; data generator *might* not have access to their data if its archiving has not been supported; publications fill some of this gap for research results, less on the data
- High Level Questions:
- how much metadata to preserve
- what metadata to preserve
Four Themes
