> We need a faster, more flexible, albeit official way of sharing data. Metajournals are trying to do it, with an "Article" overlay to data/software publication : http://metajnl.com/ http://metajnl.com/. IPOL also tries to publish image processing software: http://www.ipol.im/ http://www.ipol.im/. And there is also some work to interlink science assets (more than articles) on http://linkedscience.org/ http://linkedscience.org/. \ I welcome publication models not based on "PDF standard" (ie an electronic clone of the centuries-old ink&paper text article), but simply sharing data/software is not sufficient. I think it is important to have an editorial line and a peer review, otherwise anything online would qualify as scientific communication. Moreover, software and data is hardly sufficient by itself; it needs to be explained, documented, illustrated and discussed to be more than a "harddisk dump".
