Issues
Who does the repository need to interact with to address e.g.
• Commercial data – licensing complexities?
• Who deals with abandoned data in ‘active’ storage?
• How to deal with data from retiring staff, unfunded groups?
• When staff leave what should go with them?
• How do we trust external repositories?
• What new workflows and roles for data publication?
