The open Metadata Initiative for Neuroscience Data Structures:
Community-driven metadata models for neuroscience graph databases.
What can I find here?
+ general overview of openMINDS
+ documentation for all openMINDS metadata models
+ documentation for using openMINDS
+ documentation for contributing to openMINDS
+ tutorials
Who has access?
This collab appeals to members of the neuroscience community that are interested in:
(1) describing their research product in accordance with openMINDS
(2) conceptually contributing to openMINDS
(3) programmatically contributing to openMINDS
Who is openMINDS?
openMINDS is powered by HBP (Human Brain Project) and EBRAINS, but looking for external contributions throughout the neuroscience community.
We, the openMINDS development team, currently unite knowledge from the EBRAINS Curation Service, the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph, the EBRAINS Atlas Service, and the INCF Knowledge Space teams. If you want to get in touch with us, please contact us via our support email: openminds@ebrains.eu
Within EBRAINS, the openMINDS metadata models are adopted by the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph and Interactive Brain Atlas. In addition, openMINDS is currently in the process of being adopted by the Japan Brain/MINDS project.

The metadata model specification and corresponding open source code was developed in part or in whole in the Human Brain Project, funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation under Specific Grant Agreements No. 720270, No. 785907, and No. 945539 (Human Brain Project SGA1, SGA2, and SGA3).
Footnotes
1) Dataset: Within openMINDS a "Dataset" describes experimental data originating from human, animal or simulation studies.
2) MetaDataModel: Within openMINDS a "MetaDataModel" describes specifications for structuring metadata and/or file repositories.
3) Model: Within openMINDS a "Model" describes code and data defined around a computational model.
4) Software: Within openMINDS a "Software" describes programs and other operating information used by a computer to handle data across different Datasets or Models.
