Description
I review recent progress in the determination of the collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton. I focus on how the needs for accuracy and precision in current and future programs at high-energy accelerators are addressed in contemporary PDF sets. I discuss the impact on PDFs of the uncertainties coming from the data, the theory and the methodology, and I outline some corresponding challenges in their assessment.
