Need for linked data and linked practices. Repository should also have annotation functions, sharing, personal profile "I want [a tool] to get my full research circle closed, where I can go from searching through annotation and everything else to publication. "I use Dropbox for everything. It has saved my life, it has changed my life." Datamanagement 23. Publications perceived aslogest-lasting contribution.Thinking about preservation interms of end products.Task of publishers, scholars. 24.
