28 We strongly recommend to **start preparing for data sharing as early as possible**. With a structured data repository and adequate notes on how the data was acquired, you greatly minimize the effort required to publish your data. The time it takes to share data on EBRAINS heavily depends on on the engagement from the researcher and how well the data and metadata is prepared before-hand. Contact us for personalised guidance on how to prepare for sharing.

38 == **The EBRAINS curation process** ==
39
40 In EBRAINS, multimodal and heterogenous neuroscience data, models and software are categorised and described in a standardised manner so that they can be effectively searched, compared, and analysed. This effort is referred to as curation. 
41
42 >The EBRAINS curation process involves organising and annotating neuroscientific data to make the data discoverable and reusable.
43
44 Behind this process is the EBRAINS Curation team. Our mandate is to support you in sharing your data in line with the [[**FAIR principles**>>https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/]], whether you choose to describe only the key aspects of your data, or can invest in adding more detailed metadata.
45
46 Curated data, models and software are made available in [[the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph>>https://kg.ebrains.eu/]]. This makes the data and metadata discoverable in the [[Knowledge Graph Search>>url:https://search.kg.ebrains.eu/]] and the [[Knowledge Graph API>>url:https://docs.kg.ebrains.eu/8387ccd27a186dea3dd0b949dc528842/api_endpoints.html]]. The data, models and software are integrated in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph by interoperable metadata schemas defined in [[openMINDS>>url:https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS/wiki]].Data and models are linked to and discoverable via the species-specific [[EBRAINS siibra atlas viewer>>url:https://ebrains.eu/services/atlases/brain-atlases]] by using interoperable metadata schemas as defined in [[SANDS>>url:https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/SANDS/wiki]].
47
48 The curation of data, models and software is different. Thus, below we explain the process for sharing for each research product separately.

78
79 We look for organized data, not organized according to our standard. This is to support the broadest degree of sharing possible. We do however require that the data is organized in a consistent and precise manner. Please see our// //[[collection of guidelines on data organization>>https://drive.ebrains.eu/smart-link/25299f04-c4e5-4028-8f5f-3b8208f9a532/]] for further guidance.

82
83 //Opt. 1. //For smaller datasets with a reasonable amount of files, we recommend using the Collab-Bucket solution (drag-and-drop). A Collab Bucket must first be assigned to a dataset, which happens when a datasets is accepted for sharing.
84
85 //Opt. 2. //For larger datasets or datasets with a large amount of files, we recommend using a programmatic approach. The [[python script>>https://github.com/eapapp/ebrains-data-storage/tree/main/data-proxy]] is interactive and does not require any additional programming.

97
98 //Opt. 1.// Manually submit the minimal required metadata via the [[EBRAINS Wizard>>https://ebrains-metadata-wizard.apps.hbp.eu/]]. The minimal required metadata covers extended bibliographic information necessary to publish your dataset on EBRAINS. The submitted information, including uploaded files, will be sent to the Curation team automatically
99
100 //Opt. 2.// To go beyond the minimal required metadata, you can directly interact with the Knowledge Graph (KG) in your private space. Within the private space, you can upload metadata and interact with them, moreover you can connect your metadata to existing publicly accessible entries. Access to your private space is granted upon the initiation of the curation process. You can access your private space via:
101
102 * Knowledge Graph Editor: This User Interface allows you to manually enter metadata into your KG space and validate metadata that are programmatically uploaded. The Editor contains a basic set of openMINDS metadata templates, but can be extended to the full openMINDS metadata model on request. Access is granted once the request is accepted.
103 * [[Fairgraph>>https://fairgraph.readthedocs.io/en/stable/]]: This is the recommended software tool for programmatic interaction with the KG. It allows you to programmatically upload openMINDS compliant metadata into your KG space and interact with existing metadata.
104 * [[KG Core Python SDK>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/kg-core-sdks]]: This python package gives you full freedom in interacting with he KG. It allows you to upload any JSON-LD with metadata into your private space. Note, for dataset publications in EBRAINS, the JSON-LD metadata files have to comply to openMINDS.
105
106 Datasets published through the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph have to be registered using **openMINDS compliant metadata** delivered as JSON-LD files. See this summary table for an overview of [[the minimally required openMINDS properties for publishing>>https://drive.ebrains.eu/lib/47995dbc-f576-4008-a76c-eefbfd818529/file/ebrains-minimum-required-metadata.xlsx]] on EBRAINS.

112
113 The Data Descriptor is a document helping others interpret and reuse (and prevent misuse) of your data, and is critical to achieve a basic level of FAIR. The document will be uploaded in the repository of the data, shared as a PDF. 
114
115 See our infographic about the data descriptor for inspiration or guidance.
116
117 Check out previous examples in the KG Search. See e.g., the data descriptor for the dataset "[[Anterogradely labeled axonal projections from the orbitofrontal cortex in rat>>https://doi.org/10.25493/2MX9-3XF]]".
118
119 Journal publications sufficiently describing the shared data, such as made available through [[Nature Scientific Data>>http://www.nature.com/sdata/about]], [[Elsevier Data in Brief>>http://www.journals.elsevier.com/data-in-brief/]], [[BMC Data note>>https://bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com/submission-guidelines/preparing-your-manuscript/data-note]] and more, can replace the EBRAINS Data Descriptor.

136 **Human subject data that can be shared on EBRAINS consists of:**
137
138 - Post-mortem data
139 - Aggregated data
140 - Strongly pseudonymized or de-identified subject data with a legal basis for sharing (e.g. Informed Consent)
141
142 (% class="small" %)//If you have human data that does not classify as any of the above, please get in touch and we will clarify the available options. //
143 )))
144
145 Human data shared on EBRAINS must comply with [[GDPR >>https://gdpr-info.eu/]]and [[EU directives>>https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32010L0063]]. The information we need to assess this is collected via our [[Ethics and Regulatory Compliance Survey>>https://nettskjema.no/a/224765]].
146
147 Post-mortem and aggregated human data can be shared openly, given direct identifiers in the metadata are removed. Strongly pseudonymized and de-identified data can be shared via the Human Data Gateway (HDG).
148
149 The Human Data Gateway (HDG) was introduced in February 2021 as a response to the needs of multiple data providers who are bringing human subject data to EBRAINS. HDG covers the sharing of strongly pseudonymized or de-identified data, a limited range human subject data without direct identifiers and with very few indirect identifiers.
150
151 The HDG adds an an authentication layer on top of the data. This means that **data users **must request access to the data (via their EBRAINS account) and will receive access provided they actively accept the [[EBRAINS Access Policy>>https://ebrains.eu/terms#access-policy]], the [[EBRAINS General Terms of Use>>https://ebrains.eu/terms#general-terms-of-use]], and the [[EBRAINS Data Use Agreement>>https://ebrains.eu/terms#data-use-agreement]]. The account holder also have to accept that information about their request and access to specific data under HDG is being tracked and stored. **Data owners** must be aware that sharing under the HDG affects the legal responsibilities for the data. They must agree to joint control of the data (see the [[Data Provision Protocol v1>>url:https://strapi-prod.sos-ch-dk-2.exo.io/EBRAINS_Data_Provision_Protocol_dfe0dcb104.pdf]], section 1.4 - 1.5) and the Data Protection Officers of the responsible institutions must have accepted that the data can be shared under HDG.
152
153 The HDG is an extension of the existing services and does not replace the future EBRAINS Service for sensitive data (planned for 2024) which is outside the domain of the current EBRAINS Data and Knowledge services.

192 == **The openMINDS metadata framework** ==
193
194 openMINDS (open Metadata Initiative for Neuroscience Data Structures) is a community-driven, open-source metadata framework for graph database systems, such as the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. It is composed of linked metadata models, libraries of serviceable metadata instances, and supportive tooling ([[openMINDS Python>>url:https://pypi.org/project/openMINDS/]], openMINDS Matlab). For exploring the openMINDS schemas, go to the [[HTML documentation>>url:https://humanbrainproject.github.io/openMINDS/]]. For a full overview of the framework, go to [[the openMINDS collab>>url:https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/openminds/]] or the [[GitHub repository>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS]].

206 The EBRAINS curators help researchers publish their research using the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure. A curator’s job is similar to the job of an editor of a scientific journal, checking the data is organized, understandable, accessible and sufficiently described.
207
208 The curators in EBRAINS are located in Oslo, Jülich, Trier and Paris.

355 Publishing your data naturally takes some time and effort but we will support you as much as possible. If communication is on a regular basis, we are able to finish basic curation - from the initial contact to dataset release - within two weeks.
356
357 >Sharing my data is not beneficial for me - only for others
358
359
360 When you publish your data via EBRAINS, we provide comprehensive data management support and safe long term storage - all free of charge. Additionally, your data can be cited, just like a scientific journal article. Sharing your data may even lead to new funding opportunities. Many funders specifically support projects that are part of the “Open Science” initiative.
361
362 >My data is too insignificant to share
363
364
365 There is no such thing as insignificant data. Data that is considered insignificant for a given topic, may have great significance for another. By making “insignificant” data publicly available, other researchers may find something interesting that was off-topic for your own purposes.
366
367 >My data can easily be misused if I share it with the world
368
369
370 Your data will be covered by a Creative Commons license of your choice. There are a variety of licenses available, enabling you to prevent use for specific purposes, e.g. commercial use.
371
372 >I don't think I'm allowed to share my data
373
374
375 Many institutions are still very careful about what can be shared and how, but the situation is constantly evolving. As a researcher providing data, you will be asked to fill out an ethics compliance survey which survey to ensure that data published through the EBRAINS platform has been collected according to EU regulations. We are working on solutions for sharing anonymised human data that complies with GDPR standards to protect the identity of research subjects.
376
377 >I can't share my data before my paper is published
378
379
380 If you do not want to share your data before publishing the results in an article, you can publish your dataset with an embargo status. This will make it possible to find information about the data without making the data itself available, and give you a citeable DOI.
381
382 >If I share my data before I publish the associated paper, I will lose my competitive edge
383
384
385 Publishing your data does not mean that others can use it however they want. Use of your data will require citation, and by choosing an appropriate Creative Commons licence you decide what others are allowed to do with it. If you still feel worried, you can publish your data under embargo, and in this way delay the date of data release, but still make it possible for others to find the information about the data.
