This talk will begin the workshop with an overview of the basic issues underlying the study of scaling and superscaling in semi-leptonic electroweak interactions with nuclei.  The four types of scaling will be discussed: zeroth-kind (longitudinal/transverse universality), first-kind (momentum transfer independence), second-kind (species independence) and third-kind (isospin independence).  The essential phenomenological observations will be reviewed and several classes of modeling mentioned; the latter will be discussed in more detail by other speakers during the workshop.  Violations of scaling and implications for using scaling analyses of electron scattering to yield predictions for neutrino reactions will also be discussed

The procedures are described whereby inelastic single-arm electron scattering data are acquired and analyzed to yield quasielastic longitudinal and transverse response functions. Questions addressed include statistical errors, systematic errors, radiative corrections, and Coulomb distortions.  The results of a particular experiment are applied to the question of the Coulomb sum rule.
