摘要：A critical element in the products of research projects is the data set, largely treated as a
marginal appendage to the written record. With the requirement for data management
plans in grant proposals to the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of
Health, the issue of managing research data sets is gaining attention. Sharing primary data
enables a greater return on the original investment, expanded discovery and fertilization of
ideas across disciplines. The major impediment is lack of an infrastructure to archive nontextual
data sets, in addition to hurdles including locating data, deterioration, format
standardization, permission for use and suitability. It is essential that institutional policies
recognize data sets as a key product of intellectual work worthy of inclusion in a
bibliography. This must be followed by action to promote their preservation, metadata
enrichment, cross-lingual interoperability, geographic and temporal coding and data
provenance and to contend with changes over time.
