The headache with data repositories

I attended the last rOpenSci call on data repositories1 (recording) and below are my two cents on why storing on, and using data from the web may still be such a headache. The hour-long community call was - as always - inspiring and presented itself in a relaxed setting; with a set of experts voicing their experiences and challenges around data repositories from different angles, and a Q&A session towards the end.
