摘要：Editor’s Note: Though this opinion piece is not drawn from the recent RDAP Summit, to which the Special Section in this issue is devoted, it does add to the discussion on the topic. The digital data universe is predicted to surpass 1,800 exabytes by the end of 2011, due in part to the increasing affordability of powerful devices designed to create, capture and store digital data. At this rate, the amount of digital data is predicted to eclipse Avogadro’s number by the year 2026 [1]. The identification, collection and preservation of digital data created as a result of research is an important issue, particularly because the sharing and reuse of raw research outputs offer great potential for subsequent recombination, analysis, insight and discovery.
