Workflows that enable persistence, quality control and access are all crucial to enhance the possibilities for greater discoverability as well as efficient and reliable reuse of research data. Such workflows for data publishing are at the core of this analysis and working group.

    Dear Chair(s),

    Your document speaks plenty about "publishing data", but does not specify which "data" are being meant.  From what I can glean, it is using the same word for input (original) data, derived information, and deduced knowledge.  This is muddling in the extreme.  The three should never be mixed in the way suggested, for the very reason that they are separate entities and physical separation is the simplest way of illustrating *and teaching* that that is the case.  The very fact that "numerous research groups" have approved the document is itself evidence that most others have not thought this through sufficiently clearly, but that they are assuming everyone else can guess which "data" word means what.  Please attend to this issue - it is something that is growing worse nowadays because all of the younger generation coming into science speak of "data" from the get-go, and without much clarity of what they are referring to.
