Summary of DIS '98

A personal selection is made of some of the hot topics debated at this conference, including examples of using our knowledge of QCD to make electroweak measurements, structure functions at low x in the light of the corrections to the leading BFKL behaviour recently calculated, diffraction, the existence of one or more Pomerons and whether it/they may have a well-defined structure function, some issues in hadronic final states and polarized structure functions, and the interesting events at large Q^2 and x and with isolated leptons and missing transverse energy. Finally, some of the prospects for future deep-inelastic scattering facilities are reviewed, and the interested community is encouraged to organize itself to advocate their approval.
