Examples; 10 of the 996 standard requirements:

2. Are there adequate mechanisms for data curation in place to ensure external auditing and replicability of results, and, if a risk has manifested itself, attribution of responsibility?
   
   

3. How can services like the Digital Curation Centre, best support the effective curation and long term preservation of complex and dynamic data models, simulations and visualisations?
   
   

4. What standards are being applied, as format or metadata content, to ensure that the data are findable and that the relationships between different data are preserved?
   
   

5. Have you created clear roles and responsibilities within all lines of business for analytics, data curation, data lifecycle, and governance and data monetization?
   
   

6. What is the high level schema of the data, and what logical queries must be supported in the long term to enable easy access, visualization, and retrieval?
   
   

7. What is your view on what kind of data, internal, external sources, should be utilised to leverage in order to provide the best curated offerings?
   
   

8. Is accurate and appropriate data captured in a timely manner that speeds the delivery of care and allows complete and accurate billing to occur?
   
   

9. Which data standards, metadata systems, and curation efforts optimally improve outcome of a particular use case, as data search, or data reuse?
   
   

10. Will the number of entities remain bounded, or will the amount of system representation information become larger than the collection size?
