The past two decades have seen a revolution in digital imaging techniques for capturing gross morphology, offering an unprecedented volume of data for biological research. Despite the rapid increase in scientific publications incorporating those images, the underlying datasets remain largely inaccessible. As the technical barriers to data sharing continue to fall, we face a more intimate, and perhaps more complicated, obstacle to open data – the one in our minds.
在过去二十年中,用于获取大体形态的数字成像技术发生了一场革命,为生物学研究提供了前所未有的大量数据。尽管纳入这些图像的科学出版物迅速增加,但基础数据集在很大程度上仍然无法获取。随着数据共享的技术障碍不断降低,我们面临着一个更直接、或许也更复杂的开放数据障碍——我们头脑中的障碍。
