For several years we have collected such notebooks at <a href="https://notebooks.dandiarchive.org">notebooks.dandiarchive.org</a>: walkthroughs of individual dandisets, tutorials from workshops, and in a growing number of cases, notebooks that reproduce specific figures from the paper a dataset was published with.</p> <p>The difficulty with notebooks has always been keeping them runnable. A notebook that worked when it was written depends on a particular set of package versions, and those versions drift. Within a year or two, a reader who tries to run it often finds that a dependency has changed its API, a default has moved, or a package no longer installs at all. The code is still there, but the ability to execute it has quietly evaporated.</p>
