How Raw Are Your Data - 2012?

Pure gibberish. I read the 1st two (out of NINE pages) and learned nothing. I skipped to the last page to see if there were some conclusions that might give a clue. No.

Nowhere does the article explain what the chromatography is being used for, what the problem is with record keeping, or why the government should be involved in regulating how records are kept. The FDA is mentioned; I suppose this is the US Food and Drug Administration, but it doesn't say. It mentions the EU (European Union?) too and the UK, and some Swiss regulations. -- At least none of this was explained early in the article, so there was no incentive for me to read the whole thing.

...So I gathered that some regulations, possibly from government agencies or professional institutes, have changed how some kinds of records may or may not be kept dealing with some data on some material for which chromatography is used.

I really don't see why this article was linked on an engineering website. It might as well have been Lorem ipsum .
