It is clear by now that you don’t own your data (arguably neither your money). Shouldn’t it be the case then that our data takes part of a Data Commons.
The case is building, at least since 2016 but it is gathering supporters among the scientific community. Examples here, here, and here.
This is cause for appraisal and kudos alright. And as science gets more and more data hungry, it’s no wonder scientists seek free access to data.
What about the science that will be built using our data? Open source, creative commons as well? Right?
