   1. It links back to journal article (example: Goldberg)
   2. Data and article citation policy (Using Data)
   3. Download and access statistics (author page?)
   4. Bookmarking/downloading citations
   5. DataCite DOIs
   6. Download a file
   7. Content in public domain (CC0), with embargo allowed
   8. Dryad is built on the DSpace framework, so it has a solid underpinning
   9. Files will be versioned
   10. Content is mirrored and locally supported
   11. Content is curated and migrated to new formats
   12. For specific kinds of data, see the examples listed at Sample Dryad Content.
2. Homepage
   1. Journal-supported Partners
   2. RSS feeds (and other notification mechanisms)
   3. Archiving policies of journals and funders
3. Submission
   1. Coupled with article submission
   2. Sample IDs:
      1. Evolution 10-0277.R3
      2. Molecular Ecology 18890966MEC-10-0428.R2
   3. Focus on lowering the author burden
   4. Errors will be corrected by curator
   5. TreeBASE handshaking (where it is in submission system, show sample item within the TB submission)
      1. Media:SimpleTestNexus.txt‎
      2. Media:SimpleTestNexus2.txt‎
4. Searching -- how to find other related content
   1. Simple keyword search on taxon name (examples: Drosophila, Mollusca)
   2. Sample searches
      1. tunicate OR delsuc (retrieves all data from an international research group)
      2. whale
      3. primate aging
      4. piwowar
   3. Faceted drill-down
   4. Enables discovery of content outside the context of an article
