When research became truly digital, the career of the idea that science must share data also began. Truly digital means: at some point, machines were not merely used for calculations (aka computation), but rather most stages of the cycle of methodical production of scientific knowledge were routinely performed digitally. This means that the processes for, on the one hand, data collection, gathering, transfer, archiving and, on the other hand, all forms of presentation, such as visualization or making it readable, are digitized. Data is synonymous with automatically processed information, but also with the automated perception of the world (aka empiricism) and automated methods.
