Some fields such as bioscience or high energy physics and astronomy have already made significant and valuable progress in setting up repositories for their scientific outputs (mainly data) but most fields rely on what can be included in the traditional print-like publication. In almost all cases this is inadequate although the tireless work of organizations such as the International Union of Crystallography shows that it can be achieved in some cases. I shall be blunt.
