The presentation discusses the importance of open access and knowledge sharing in scientific publishing, emphasizing a paradigm shift from traditional static documents to dynamic, interactive 'papers' that facilitate better dissemination of knowledge. It highlights the legal and technical barriers that hinder access to scientific materials and proposes the use of standardized agreements to enhance sharing and collaboration. The speaker advocates for a common infrastructure and interoperability to enable seamless integration of scientific data and resources.

- 41. scholarship entrenched in idea of transmitting knowledge via paper mentality reflected even in the way we describe “papers” static, one-dimensional documents
- 42. in the digital world, “papers” can become living, breathing works no longer static PDF documents linking to data sets, other relevant papers, information, plasmids, genes

- 45. need to change the way we think of scholarly publishing, of knowledge sharing paradigm shift begin thinking of “papers” as containers of knowledge
