BEP028

provenance framework for BIDS This repository contains BIDS Extension Proposal 028 : BIDS-prov, a provenance framework for BIDS

Our goal

Interpreting and comparing scientific results and enabling reusable data and analysis output require understanding provenance, i.e. how the data were generated and processed. To be useful, the provenance must be understandable, easily communicated, and captured automatically in machine accessible form. Provenance records are thus used to encode transformations between digital objects

Who is building BEP 028

Camille Maumet (@cmaumet) and Satrajit Ghosh (@satra) are the BEP co-moderators.

BIDS-prov in the NIDM project

The Neuroimaging Data Model (NIDM) is a collection of specification documents that define extensions the W3C PROV standard for the domain of human brain mapping

BIDS-prov is a BIDS extension that is compatible with NIDM.

How to help

Our goal is to extends BIDS to be able to track provenance at every stage of an experiment.

For this purpose we have to propose changes to the BIDS specification

The BIDS specification is rendered as a webpage at https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io.

The website is built from a GitHub repository that consists of mostly markdown files at https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification. If you don't know much about markdown, here's a good intro guide

The file that you are most likely to propose changes to is src/03-modality-agnostic-files.md, although there may be additional changes that have to happen in other pars of the repository

NIDM weekly calls

We meet every week by videoconference on Mondays at 8-9am PDT / 11am-12pm EDT / 4-5pm BST. The group is always open to new contributors interested in neuroimaging data sharing. To join the call or to ask any question, please email us at incf-nidash-nidm@googlegroups.com.

Additional resources

Mature building blocks of NIDM:

• NIDM-terms
• NIDM-results

New features (to be included)

Code of conduct

We are committed to building a welcoming and harrasement free experience for all our contributors. As a contributor to the BIDS-Prov specification, we ask you to follow our code of conduct
