The main focus of the workshop was on the benefits, challenges and obstacles of re-using data from a researcher's perspective. Use cases from a variety of disciplines were supplemented by views from specialists from infrastructure institutions, publishers, and funding bodies on national and European level.
The workshop highligted technical challenges (e.g metadata exchange standards and quality assurance), but identified socially determined issues as the main challenge. These can be resolved if worked on cooperatively by researchers, institutions, publishers, funders and governments.
