No-one looks at every data value? No, they use statistics, visualization, and other techniques. #26

They overstate some difficulties of peer-review (No-one looks at every data value? No, they use statistics, visualization, and other techniques.) while not fully considering who is responsible for what. We need a closer examination of different roles and who are appropriate validators (not necessarily conventional peers).

In the absence of particular questions and conclusions, it is not obvious what peer review of data should certify. A dataset may serve for some purposes, but not for others\cite{parsons_data_2010}. A reviewer may anticipate some uses for the data, but not all. Researchers are already overwhelmed by peer review of articles\cite{diederich_are_2013} and may find any increased workload unreasonable. Despite all these difficulties, venues for peer-reviewed data papers are opening rapidly.
