Please comment on his questions:
1. How useful is syntax in identifiers?
2. Is the “data package” concept universal?
3. Can data objects become truly first-class objects, separated from articles?
4. Can we encourage publication-oriented tools to support data citations? Or should we put effort towards data-oriented citation tools?
