Data Release Summary - Datasets generated that are not yet interpreted, but may have value as released and publicly available data

Objective/context - Publish via the web, with review. Trying to capture the process - what are the automated and human steps necessary?

Actors - will vary based on step in sequence. Generalized to:

• Release, archival, curation
