                                    Resum

  Current global fits to the body of DIS and other data used to extract the
 parton distribution functions of the nucleon do not propagate experimental
 errors, and thus do not yield error estimates on the PDFs or on subsequent
  theoretical predictions using those PDFs. I discuss a general method that
  allows taking the complete experiment errors into account when extracting
 PDFs, and that produces estimates of errors in either fit PDF parameters or
 in subsequent theoretical predictions of collider observables. I will also
          present an initial numerical analysis using the method.
