The document discusses key themes in digital scholarship infrastructure and ecosystems. It identifies themes such as contexts, infrastructures, reusability, and tensions. Contexts refer to domains, locations, and openness. Infrastructures include social, technical, and sustainability aspects. Reusability covers data, tools, and curation. Tensions arise from factors like growth, flexibility, and sustainability over time. The document analyzes these themes in relation to digital scholarship.
