The fact that the present study was able to utilize previously acquired data to develop a set of experimental rationales that offer a new perspective on NMR nomenclature has two important implications. First, it highlights the immense value of raw NMR data sharing: the additional value that can be gained from the re-analysis of existing primary data has been identified as a major incentive for not just the NMR, but the entire scientific community to engage in FAIR data sharing practices . Second, it underscores the need for broader standardization of NMR methodologies and dissemination mechanisms, as reflected by the recent NMReDATA initiative , which aims at the extracted data such as chemical shift values, integrals, intensities, multiplicities, and scalar coupling constants. As shown throughout the article, the development of exact definitions of NMR terms is a prerequisite for the meaningful extraction of structural and quantitative information from NMR spectra and their subsequent use by the scientific community.
