Since many years our community is producing an enormous amount of data by CPU-intensive calculations. Most of these data are not used, although the information content is significant. We propose to change our scientific culture following the idea of open access. The NoMaD Repository (https://nomad-repository.eu) was established to host, organize, and share materials data. NoMaD also copes with the increasing demand of storing scientific data and making them available for longer periods. NoMaD facilitates research groups to share and exchange their results. Upload of data is possible without any barrier. Results are accepted in their raw format as produced by the underlying electronic-structure package. At present, the repository is being filled with results for inorganic and organic semiconductors, catalysis and corrosion, optoelectronics, thermoelectrics, and biophysics. These areas will be continuously complemented by others.
