"Almost two dozen repositories of research and public health data supported by the National Institutes of Health are marked for “review” under the Trump administration’s direction, and researchers and archivists say the data is at risk of being lost forever if the repositories go down.

“The problem with archiving this data is that we can’t,” Lisa Chinn, Head of Research Data Services at the University of Chicago, told 404 Media. Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency, and those agreements are carefully administered through a disclosure risk review process.

A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”
Repositories with the message include archives of cancer imagery, Alzheimer’s disease research, sleep studies, HIV databases, and COVID-19 vaccination and mortality data."

#ListenBrainz / #MetaBrainz I'm confused. Aren't sponsors the true customer? Why use this? 🤔

On one hand #Music: "Listen together", "Ethical forever"

On the other: #DATASETS

"Some of the world’s biggest platforms such as Google and Amazon, use our data"

"We ask commercial supporters to support us in order to help fund the creation and maintenance of these datasets."

"The following organizations make use of the data-sets published by MetaBrainz"

"Unicorn tier: #Google, #Amazon, #Spotify"

Snapshot from ListenBrainz website: --- Data provider The MetaBrainz core mission is to curate and maintain public datasets that anyone can download and use. Some of the world’s biggest platforms, such as Google and Amazon, use our data, as well as small-scale developers and simply curious individuals. ListenBrainz and its sister sites are part of this mission - the music data that our users submit to ListenBrainz, and the MusicBrainz database that powers it, is available for download. We want to help you build products and tools. These datasets include the ListenBrainz PostgreSQL Data Dumps, which contains detailed data about ~1 billion listens, and can be used to create and study music consumption patterns. Our datasets are AI Ready, perfect for training large language models for music-based tasks. We ask commercial supporters to support us in order to help fund the creation and maintenance of these datasets. Personal use of our datasets will always be free.

'Two hundred forty-six researchers in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology — including two from Clemson University — worked in 174 teams to answer two different research questions based on the same unpublished data sets.

They came up with a strikingly variable range of answers, including some that were direct opposites of each other.'

Clemson News · Study: Researchers’ choices could result in different conclusions from the same dataThere is growing recognition among scientists that the many choices researchers must make — such as which statistical methods to apply — can lead to divergent conclusions even when the different options are all reasonable.  The leaders of the study say the results ring true to a growing recognition among scientists that the many choices researchers must make — such as which statistical methods to apply — can lead to divergent conclusions even when the different options are all reasonable.

This data may vanish under Trump, so we charted it
Some of most valuable #datasets in human history vanished from #US #government websites, felt like watching Library of Alexandria go up in smoke
Many have gone on record describing #Census Bureau’s #American Community Survey as wonder of modern world
Another loss? #HouseholdPulse survey, online survey that provided week-by-week data on income losses, economic struggles and precarious mental health

#Archivists Work to Identify and Save the Thousands of #Datasets Disappearing From Data.gov

Datasets aggregated on data.gov, the largest repository of U.S. government open data on the internet, are being deleted, according to the website’s own information. Since Donald #Trump was inaugurated as president, more than 2,000 datasets have disappeared from the database.

"Some federal #datasets are nearly irreplaceable. Hurricane Helene helped drive that fact home in September, when it flooded much of western North Carolina and temporarily knocked NOAA’s NCEI headquarters in Asheville offline. Scientists found they were unable to complete certain kinds of analyses until the databases were back up and running."

The @osi released the #OpenSource #AI definition this week, and stopped short of requiring that #datasets used for training AI models also be openly available.

Side-stepping that debate, I dig into the onus the OSI's decision now places on having better #DatasetDocumentation approaches - without which the data used for training cannot be adequately described.

This is a highly recommended weekly newsletter of useful/curious datasets; this includes spatial data, and indeed the newsletter this week mentioned that the USGS “has released a new map of landslide susceptibility, indicating the specific areas of the country (at 90-meter resolution) that are at greatest risk of slides.” (see my other post today.)

Institute for Dissent&Datalove

The Institute for Dissent and Datalove is a loose collective comprised of hackers, artists, activists and tinkerers. It overlaps with networks of solidarities involved in active defense of free speech and free/libre technologies, technology critics and political interventions.

The Institute for Dissent and Datalove has so far mostly been used for operations of de/re-contextualization of large datasets, de-formatting of formats and playful use of liberating algorithms.

It tries to criticize and deconstruct itself, while remaining grounded in uncompromising collective practices of autonomy and solidarity.

We even have a website: dissent-and-datalove.institute
