Abstract
Biological data in digital form has become a, if not the, driving force behind innovations in biology, medicine, and the environment. No study and no model would be complete without access to digital data (including text) collected by others and available in public repositories. With this ascent in the fundamental importance of data for reproducible scientific progress has come a troubling paradox.
