Description

I discuss how current LHC measurements are employed in the determination of the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the proton. I focus on the current praxis and I outline a few challenges in the release and usage of the experimental data. I finally discuss prospects to improve best practice measures, in light of LHC Run III and beyond.
