The increasingly multidisciplinary nature of scientific research necessitates a need for Open Data repositories that can archive data in support of publications in scientific journals. Recognising this need, even before GigaScience launched in 2012, GigaDB was already in place and taking data for a year before (making it 11 this year). Since GigaDB launched, there has been a consistent growth in this resource in terms of data volume, data discoverability and data re-use. In this commentary, we provide a retrospective of key changes over the last decade, and the role of Data Curation in enhancing the user experience. Furthermore we explore a much needed emphasis on enabling researchers to interact with and explore datasets prior to data download.
科学研究的日益多学科性质需要开放数据存储库来支持科学期刊上的出版物，早在 2012 年 GigaScience 推出之前，就已经认识到了这一需求，GigaDB 已经存在并在这一年之前就开始获取数据（今年已经 11 年了）。自 GigaDB 推出以来，该资源在数据量、数据可发现性和数据重用方面一直持续增长。在这篇评论中，我们回顾了过去十年的关键变化，以及数据管理在增强用户体验方面的作用。此外，我们还探讨了在数据下载之前，使研究人员能够与数据集进行交互和探索的必要性。
