In that sense, I would say that DAT and Guix would be complementary
rather than overlapping in a reproducible science toolbox: Guix could be
used to described data sources, build processes, and pipelines, while
DAT would take care of retrieving data sets (DAT data sets could be
described using ‘origin’ in Guix.)

Thanks for sharing!
