Questions Are there any serious objections to adopting specific-use=“data” and publication-type=“data” Is it possible to identify when to use these tags within a typesetting workflow? Would this group make use of the proposed additions, in time? Do we need to provide more machinery later to support more extensible data citation? 

Conclusions Most of the use cases for data citation can be implemented today JATS documentation can be updated very soon to reflect these cases Proposed additions could be trialled with reasonable ease The power to solve this issue lies with us - let’s do it!
