TL;DR
It is suggested that research databases that are populated and analysed according to specific ‘data-driven discovery’ techniques, not as providing data, but rather as providing significant ‘added value’.

218 Citations1998Neil R. Smalheiser, Don R. Swanson
ARROWSMITH is a set of interactive software and database search strategies that facilitate the discovery of plausible hypotheses linking findings across specialties and has been employed to analyze research problems relating to oxidative stress, brain damage, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
Nature NeuroscienceShould the neuroscience community make a paradigm shift to sharing primary data?
125 Citations2000Stephen H. Koslow
The author outlines the pros and cons of data sharing for neuroscientists and argues that continued progress in the field will depend on a cultural shift toward making primary data freely available to maximize the efficient use of data.

Knowledge does not arise de novo from computer‐assisted analysis of biological data, and automated discovery will generate new knowledge, take over the process of doing science itself, and tell us what it is that the authors need to know and understand.

Systematic harvesting of huge amounts of data would considerably ease research in molecular biology, where a major challenge will be to describe complete biological systems using integrated approaches—the ‘ system biology’ paradigm.
