In many branches of science, it is important to establish a uniform and flexible method of archiving and exchanging data. The data presented in research contributions must be readily accessible and easily verifiable. Key to scientific discovery and innovation, the use of good data management practices can provide significant knowledge through the reuse of original data by the community after the data publication process. Unfortunately, the existing ecosystem surrounding scholarly data publication often prevents the research community from extracting maximum benefit from published reports. This forms the basis of the foundational principles as discussed by Wilkinson et al.-Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability-that serve as a guideline to maximize the added-value gained by digital publishing. Porous solids are of important scientific and industrial interest owing to their impressive ability to interact with all manner of atoms, ions and molecules throughout the entirety of the solid, not only the surface. This has led to many exciting applications for porous materials, including ion exchange, gas storage, separations and catalysis. Measuring the interaction of fluid with a material is crucial to the understanding and comparison of different porous materials, usually quantified in the form of an isotherm, which represents the adsorbed amount at equilibrium pressure at a constant temperature. The quantity of gas adsorbed is measured in any convenient units, but for the presentation of the data, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has recommended that the amount adsorbed should be expressed in moles per gram of outgassed adsorbent. To facilitate the comparison of adsorption data, the IUPAC also recommended that adsorption isotherms are displayed in a graphical form with the amount adsorbed (preferably presented using mol g -1 plotted against the equilibrium relative pressure (p/p 0 ), where p 0 is the saturation vapor pressure of the pure adsorptive at the experiment temperature, or when the temperature is above the critical temperature of the adsorbing gas, against absolute pressure. However, particularly for microporous materials, this documentation leads to extensive loss of information, as the pore filling occurs at a characteristic p/p 0 <<0.01 that is not retractable from the isotherm plot. Only a logarithmic plot can reveal the characteristicp/p 0 of pore filling, which is important information to estimate pore size distributions in the micropore regime. Similar aspects are also relevant for other branches/regions of the isotherm.
