在数字技术革命的推动下，科学的结构正在发生变化，数字技术革命促进了大量数据的获取和交流。这正在改变合作的性质，扩大参与科学的机会。如果数字技术是这场革命的引擎，那么数字数据就是它的燃料。但对于许多科学学科来说，这种燃料是供不应求的。原始数据的发布不是科学的普遍或强制性部分，尽管政策和宣言与此相反，但公开数据的呼吁在很大程度上没有得到重视。在这篇短文中，我思考了其中的原因，并探讨了在我们致力于建立万物数据库的过程中所面临的一些挑战。
The fabric of science is changing, driven by a revolution in digital technologies that facilitate the acquisition and communication of massive amounts of data. This is changing the nature of collaboration and expanding opportunities to participate in science. If digital technologies are the engine of this revolution, digital data are its fuel. But for many scientific disciplines, this fuel is in short supply. The publication of primary data is not a universal or mandatory part of science, and despite policies and proclamations to the contrary, calls to make data publicly available have largely gone unheeded. In this short essay I consider why, and explore some of the challenges that lie ahead, as we work toward a database of everything.
