What counts as useful data, and what’s just stuff?
Or, someone’s trash is another’s treasure.

“Give us the data and get out of the way”@wragge (Tim Sherratt)
Should we just build API’s?
Are things likely to get territorial? Who interprets objects of little scientific
value, but great cultural value?
The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
What can we usefully do with such variable data?
Do you have any examples of sciences and humanities merging, blending and assisting
each other?
