Reuse of Research Data: The Shape of Things to Come – Project THOR

"The CERN Open Data portal publishes data and code, and assigns DOIs to them. The boundary conditions for that publishing process are a bit “special”, as the data and code can be fairly complex and big (e.g. the last big release was about 320TB). Recently, this activity reached an important milestone with the first independent research paper based on the opened data, ‘Exposing the QCD Splitting Function with CMS Open Data‘. The publication of this paper highlights the potential of sharing data publicly,  and the benefits of enabling reproducible research."
