R2: open data, accessibility to underrepresented communities

[jvcasillas]

• “Making linguistic data accessible to all researchers promotes participation in and with underrepresented communities. Furthermore, it can increase the study of diverse and underreported languages, which fosters a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of the global linguistic landscape.” --> Please explain why and how accessible linguistic data promotes the researchers’ participation with the (potentially underrepresented) speaker communities? While I am sympathetic to this argument, it needs to be spelled out more and made more concrete in order to be meaningful.

TODO

• [ ] spell it out for R2 (2ish sentences)
