Authors
  • Paul F Uhlir

Abstract

I would like to focus on three problem areas that are alluded to in the title of this essay. They all have to do with the social, rather than the technical, systems in research that undermine data preservation functions or the subsequent exploitation of the data for the benefit of research and society.
