Attention: Due to an upgrade beginning on Friday, the 22nd August 2025, any new collabs, groups and any changes to teams will not be kept beyond the weekend. User creation will also be disabled during this time. The actual upgrade will take place on Wednesday, 27th August. On that day, any service requiring a Keycloak login will be unavailable for the duration of the upgrade. Thank you for your understanding as we complete this important work.

192 192  
193 -==== 2. Create/choose a Collab workspace ====
157 +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).
194 194  
195 -We use EBRAINS Collaboratory "collab" workspaces to help manage the model curation process.
159 +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.
196 196  
197 -In particular, we use collab membership (the "Team") to control who can view or edit your model metadata prior to publication.
161 +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.
198 198  
199 -It is up to you whether you create a new collab for each model, or reuse an existing collab
200 -(it is no problem to have multiple models associated with a single collab).
163 +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.
201 201  
202 -Collabs are also useful for storing simulation results, adding documentation for your model,
203 -and/or providing tutorials in Jupyter notebooks.
204 204  
205 -==== 3. Upload code ====
166 +----
206 206  
207 -We recommend storing model code and/or configuration files in an online Git repository, for example on GitHub.
208 -This repository should be public when you publish the model, but a private repository can be used for model development.
168 +=== Step by Step - Models ===

210 -Alternatively, you can upload code to the Collab Drive or Bucket storage.
211 211  
212 -==== 4. Submit metadata ====
171 +~1. Request curation using the [[Curation request form>>https://nettskjema.no/a/277393#/]]. You will be contacted by a curator with more information.
213 213  
214 -We recommend submitting metadata using the Model Catalog app, installed in your collab.

223 -If this is your first time using the app, the table will probably be empty.
224 -To add your model, click "+", fill in the form, then click "Add model".
178 +=== Step by Step - Code ===
225 225  
226 -As development of your model proceeds, you can easily register new versions of the code,

368 -In EBRAINS, all datasets, models and software shared go through a streamlined curation process that ensures relevant annotation of the data using the [[openMINDS>>url:https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS]] metadata framework and integration into the [[EBRAINS Knowledge Graph>>url:https://docs.kg.ebrains.eu/]] metadata management system. The research products are Findable and Accessible through the [[Knowledge Graph Search>>url:https://search.kg.ebrains.eu/?category=Dataset]] as dataset/model/software cards that display further information regarding the dataset's Interoperability and Reusability.
311 +* Integrate image data with //the Mio viewer//: EBRAINS Multi-Image OpenSeadragon viewer provides an intuitive way of navigating high-resolution 2D image series. It has browser-based classic pan and zoom capabilities. A collection can be displayed as a filmstrip (Filmstrip Mode) or as a table (Collection Mode) with adjustable number of row and columns. See [[Mio viewer links available for this dataset>>https://search.kg.ebrains.eu/?category=Dataset&q=nr2f1#9677359c-73fa-4425-b8fa-3de794e9017a]] as an example. MioViewer user manual is found [[here>>https://multi-image-osd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html]].
312 +* Integrate atlas-registered 2D image data with //the LocaliZoom viewer//: The EBRAINS LocaliZoom serial section viewer displays series of registered 2D section images with atlas overlay, allowing the users to zoom into high-resolution images and have information about the brain regions. See the [[LocaliZoom links available for this dataset>>https://doi.org/10.25493/T686-7BX]] as an example. LocaliZoom user manual is found [[here>>https://localizoom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html]].

314 +* Integrate your data to //the Siibra//-explorer: The siibra-explorer is used for visualizing volumetric brain data in all the brain atlases provided by EBRAINS (Human, Monkey, Rat and Mouse). The siibra-explorer viewer uses siibra-api to enable navigation of brain region hierarchies, maps in different coordinate spaces, and linked regional data features. Furthermore, it is connected with the siibra toolsuite providing several analytical workflows. To learn more about how to integrate your data to atlases, check out the [[Atlas services>>https://ebrains.eu/services/atlases#Integratedatatoanatlas]] on ebrains.eu.

395 395  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.

397 ->Can my data be too insignificant to share?
366 +>My data is too insignificant to share
398 398  
399 -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.

405 ->Can I share my data before my paper is published?
406 406  
407 -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 ->Can I lose my competitive edge if I share my data before I publish the associated paper?
376 +>I don't think I'm allowed to share my data
410 410  
411 -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.
412 412  
379 +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.
