Couldn't scientific journals, or journal databases like Springer Link make the data behind papers available?
That's a very interesting idea, and it would be relatively easy for them to implement. It does help solve the problem of making the data available over time, which is a big step. But unless they built a canonical data format (i.e. a proper database) underneath it, you still end up with difficulty making use of the data.

Someething like a github repo for every arXiv submission - shouldn't be that hard to do.
