112 -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/]].

184 +=== Step by Step - Models ===
153 153  
154 -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]].
155 155  
156 -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).
187 +==== 1. Start early ====
157 157  
158 -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.
189 +It is not necessary to wait until you are ready to publish to register your model with EBRAINS.
159 159  
160 -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.
191 +By registering a model early in your project, you can take advantage of EBRAINS tools
192 +to keep track of simulations and to share them with your collaborators.
161 161  
162 -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.
194 +==== 2. Create/choose a Collab workspace ====
163 163  
196 +We use EBRAINS Collaboratory "collab" workspaces to help manage the model curation process.
164 164  
165 -----
198 +In particular, we use collab membership (the "Team") to control who can view or edit your model metadata prior to publication.
166 166  
167 -=== Step by Step - Models ===
200 +It is up to you whether you create a new collab for each model, or reuse an existing collab
201 +(it is no problem to have multiple models associated with a single collab).
168 168  
203 +Collabs are also useful for storing simulation results, adding documentation for your model,
204 +and/or providing tutorials in Jupyter notebooks.
169 169  
170 -~1. Request curation using the [[Curation request form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/277393#/]]. You will be contacted by a curator with more information.
206 +==== 3. Upload code ====
171 171  
208 +We recommend storing model code and/or configuration files in an online Git repository, for example on GitHub.
209 +This repository should be public when you publish the model, but a private repository can be used for model development.
172 172  
173 -//Additional information will be added soon.//
211 +Alternatively, you can upload code to the Collab Drive or Bucket storage.
174 174  
175 -----
213 +==== 4. Submit metadata ====
176 176  
177 -=== Step by Step - Software ===
215 +We recommend submitting metadata using the Model Catalog app, installed in your collab.
178 178  
179 -[[[[image:swc-flow-no-header.png||alt="swc-flow.png"]]>>https://www.ebrains.eu/tools/ebrains-curation-request-form||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]
217 +To install it:
180 180  
181 -~1. Fill in the [[request form>>https://www.ebrains.eu/tools/ebrains-curation-request-form]]. You'll be contacted by a curator with further instructions. In these instructions you will find the links to your software and software version entries in the Knowledge Graph.
219 +1. click the "+ Create" button
220 +1. in the "Create Page" form, add a title, such as "Model Catalog", and select "Community App", then click "Create"
221 +1. scroll down until you find the "Model Catalog" app, click "Select", then "Save & View"
182 182  
183 -2. Enter the metadata of your software in your private space of the [[Knowledge Graph Editor>>url:https://editor.kg.ebrains.eu/]] by using the links provided by the curator. Please provide the metadata for your software as complete as possible. This makes it easier for users to find and use your software. If you have questions feel free to contact the curation support. After you have finished editing your entries, please let the curators know by replying to your ticket. We curate your metadata and get back to you, if necessary.
223 +You will then see a table of all the models and validation tests associated with this collab.
224 +If this is your first time using the app, the table will probably be empty.
225 +To add your model, click "+", fill in the form, then click "Add model".
184 184  
185 -3. After a quality check, we integrate and publish the information to the Knowledge Graph. Your software is then searchable and usable for the neuroscience community.[[[[image:Thumb.png||alt="EBRAINS-Share-Software.pdf" height="315" style="float:right" width="215"]]>>attach:EBRAINS-Share-Software.pdf]]
227 +As development of your model proceeds, you can easily register new versions of the code,
228 +and new parameterizations, by clicking "Add new version".
186 186  
187 -If you want to add a new version to an already curated software, please request this via the [[curation request form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/277393]].
230 +If you prefer not to use the app, you can instead fill in the [[EBRAINS Curation Request Form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/386195]].,
231 +and you will be contacted by e-mail with further instructions.
188 188  
189 -For more information, visit our [[Guide to Software Curation in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph>>url:https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/swc-guide]] or see our infographic.
233 +==== 5. Provide a reference dataset ====
190 190  
235 +Once you're ready to publish your model entry in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph,
236 +we encourage you to provide a dataset containing the simulation results produced by your model,
237 +following the process under "Step by step - Data" above.
191 191  
239 +These reference data will be linked to the model, and will be helpful to anyone trying to
240 +reuse your model.
192 192  
242 +We will soon introduce a "Reproducible" badge for all models that include a reference dataset,
243 +and whose simulation results can be reproduced by an EBRAINS curator.
193 193  
245 +==== 6. Request publication, preview and publish ====
194 194  
247 +Until you request your model entry to be published in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph,
248 +only members of the collab will be able to view the model entry, in the Model Catalog app
249 +or using the Model Validation Python client.
195 195  
251 +After publication, the model will appear in the [[EBRAINS public search results>>https://search.kg.ebrains.eu/?category=Model||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], and will receive a DOI.
196 196  
253 +To request publication, [[contact EBRAINS support>>https://ebrains.eu/support||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], providing the collab name and the model name or ID.

200 -== **The curation team: meet the curators** ==
256 +Curators will then perform a number of checks:
201 201  
202 -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.
258 +1. Does the model description provide sufficient context to understand the purpose and use of the model?
259 +1. Does the code repository contain a licence file, explaining the conditions for reusing the code?
260 +1. Does the model have a clearly defined version identifier (e.g. v1.0)? For models in a Git repository, the version identifier should match the name of a tag or release.
203 203  
204 -The curators in EBRAINS are located in Oslo, Jülich, Trier and Paris. 
205 -
262 +The curators will also take a snapshot of your model code.
206 206  
207 -**Located in Norway:**
264 +* For models in public Git repositories, we archive a copy of the repository in [[Software Heritage>>https://www.softwareheritage.org/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]].
265 +* For models in a collab Bucket or Drive, we make a read-only copy of the code in a public container in the EBRAINS repository.

330 -By sharing your data via EBRAINS, you gain access to the following benefits:
390 +>Is the curation process time consuming and difficult?
331 331  
332 -[[image:image-20230324170841-3.png]]
392 +No, if communication is on a regular basis, we are able to finish curation within two weeks. Publishing your data naturally takes some effort but we will support you as much as possible.
333 333  
394 +>Is sharing my data also beneficial for me or only for others?
334 334  
396 +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.

336 -We support you to better follow the FAIR^^ ^^guiding principles for data management and stewardship{{footnote}}Wilkinson, M., Dumontier, M., Aalbersberg, I. et al. The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship. Sci Data 3, 160018 (2016). https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18 {{/footnote}}.  Publishing data, models or code via EBRAINS will provide you with a citeable [[DataCite DOI>>https://www.doi.org/the-identifier/resources/handbook/]] for your research product.
398 +>Can my data be too insignificant to share?
337 337  
400 +No, 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.
338 338  
402 +>Can my data be easily misused if I share it?
403 +
404 +No, 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.
405 +
406 +>Can I share my data before my paper is published?
407 +
408 +Yes, 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.
409 +
410 +>Can I lose my competitive edge if I share my data before I publish the associated paper?
411 +
412 +No, 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.

374 -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.
