Thank you, Mikala, for sharing your wonderful reflections on the NoCTURN All-Network Meeting!
From the first presentation, the connections between DCN and NoCTURN efforts was apparent (not to mention connections with my own research interest!). Early in the event, conversations highlighted the challenges that come with data that is open along a spectrum: how do museums retain an appropriate level of curatorial control over tomographic data? How can we best advocate for open data while recognizing that there are a host of reasons data may need to be closed? This is an area of open science that disciplinary communities are well-suited to provide guidance on and set standards for, as they know the nuances of their data.
NoCTURN is looking forward to continued collaborations with the Data Curation Network and exploring opportunities to advance FAIR and open scholarly practices together!
