Scholarly primitives, such as representing, discovering, sampling and referring are typically well supported by data repositories.

Assessment against an agreed standard is a way to evaluate the reliability and sustainability of data repositories.

Humanities and social sciences researchers encounter a number of data protection issues in their work.  An example is scientific events where photos and videos are taken and legal participant consent is required in order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Surveys and other research activities pose similar problems.
