197 -to keep track of simulations and to share them with your collaborators.
153 +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.

199 -==== 2. Create/choose a Collab workspace ====
155 +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.
200 200  
201 -We use EBRAINS Collaboratory "collab" workspaces to help manage the model curation process.
202 202  
203 -In particular, we use collab membership (the "Team") to control who can view or edit your model metadata prior to publication.
158 +----
204 204  
205 -It is up to you whether you create a new collab for each model, or reuse an existing collab
206 -(it is no problem to have multiple models associated with a single collab).
160 +=== Step by Step - Models ===
207 207  
208 -Collabs are also useful for storing simulation results, adding documentation for your model,
209 -and/or providing tutorials in Jupyter notebooks.
210 210  
211 -==== 3. Upload code ====
163 +~1. Request curation using the [[Curation request form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/277393#/]]. You will be contacted by a curator with more information.
212 212  
213 -We recommend storing model code and/or configuration files in an online Git repository, for example on GitHub.
214 -This repository should be public when you publish the model, but a private repository can be used for model development.
215 215  
216 -Alternatively, you can upload code to the Collab Drive or Bucket storage.
166 +//Additional information will be added soon.//
217 217  
218 -==== 4.Submit metadata ====
168 +----
219 219  
220 -We recommend submitting metadata using the Model Catalog app, installed in your collab.
170 +=== Step by Step - Software ===
221 221  
222 -To install it:
172 +[[[[image:swc-flow-no-header.png||alt="swc-flow.png"]]>>https://www.ebrains.eu/tools/ebrains-curation-request-form||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]

226 -1. scroll down until you find the "Model Catalog" app, click "Select", then "Save & View"
174 +~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.
227 227  
228 -You will then see a table of all the models and validation tests associated with this collab.
229 -If this is your first time using the app, the table will probably be empty.
230 -To add your model, click "+", fill in the form, then click "Add model".
176 +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.
231 231  
232 -As development of your model proceeds, you can easily register new versions of the code,
233 -and new parameterizations, by clicking "Add new version".
178 +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.
234 234  
235 -If you prefer not to use the app, you can instead fill in the [[Curation request form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/277393#/]].,
236 -and you will be contacted by e-mail with further instructions.
180 +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]].
237 237  
238 -==== 5. Provide a reference dataset ====
182 +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 below.
239 239  
240 -Once you're ready to publish your model entry in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph,
241 -we encourage you to provide a dataset containing the simulation results produced by your model,
242 -following the process under "Step by step - Data" above.
184 +[[[[image:Thumb.png||alt="EBRAINS-Share-Software.pdf" height="155" style="float:left" width="106"]]>>attach:EBRAINS-Share-Software.pdf]]
243 243  
244 -These reference data will be linked to the model, and will be helpful to anyone trying to
245 -reuse your model.
246 246  
247 -We will soon introduce a "Reproducible" badge for all models that include a reference dataset,
248 -and whose simulation results can be reproduced by an EBRAINS curator.
249 249  
250 -==== 6. Request publication, preview and publish ====
188 +==== //Software curation at a glance// ====
251 251  
252 -Until you request your model entry to be published in the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph,
253 -only members of the collab will be able to view the model entry, in the Model Catalog app
254 -or using the Model Validation Python client.
255 255  
256 -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.
257 257  
258 -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.

261 -Curators will then perform a number of checks:
195 +== **The openMINDS metadata framework** ==
262 262  
263 -1. Does the model description provide sufficient context to understand the purpose and use of the model?
264 -1. Does the code repository contain a licence file, explaining the conditions for reusing the code?
265 -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.
197 +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/]].

403 ->Is the curation process time consuming and difficult?
337 +By sharing your data via EBRAINS, you gain access to the following benefits:
404 404  
405 -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.

406 406  
407 ->Is sharing my data also beneficial for me or only for others?
408 408  
409 -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.

413 -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.
414 -
415 ->Can my data be easily misused if I share it?
416 -
417 -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.
418 -
419 ->Can I share my data before my paper is published?
420 -
421 -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.
422 -
423 ->Can I lose my competitive edge if I share my data before I publish the associated paper?
424 -
425 -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.

378 +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.
