[Blog post] Philosophical & practical reflections from DCM2026 (Alina Mierlus)

[Felipe Gomez BSC]

Hi Dataverse Community,

We wanted to share a nice post-conference blog post from Alina Mierlus (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), bringing a philosophical point of view to research data management:

"(...) Repositories are no longer just places where data is stored, but environments in which tools, agents, or questions can move along."

In the post, she shares her conversations with community members in Barcelona, her hands-on testing with AI workflows and repository APIs, and reflections on the power of open-source collaboration.
