A model to represent neuroimaging data with their metadata in support of data sharing and reuse!

NIDM is currently made up of:

• 1 released model
  • NIDM-Results: harmonised representation of mass univariate neuroimaging results (such as fMRI)
• 2 models under development
  • NIDM-Workflows: representation of neuroimaging workflows
  • NIDM-Experiment: representation of neuroimaging raw data

NIDM is defined as an extension the W3C PROV standard for provenance.

The NIDM-Results specification is available at: http://nidm.nidash.org/specs/nidm-results.html

• NIDM-Results I/O (reference implementations): Python library, Matlab library
• Export to NIDM-Results from neuroimaging tools: FSL to NIDM-Results, SPM to NIDM-Results
• NIDM-Results viewers: SPM viewer, FSL viewer, NeuroVault viewer, Javascript viewer.

Interested in using NIDM-Results? See the get started with NIDM page where you will find how to publish your fMRI results from SPM and FSL & upload to NeuroVault.

Thanks for you interest in contributing to NIDM-Results! If you would like to submit an update or outline an issue with the NIDM-Results specification, please submit an issue or email us. You can also join our weekly calls!

The work-in-progress NIDM-Workflows specification is available here.

• NIDM-Workflows I/O (reference implementations): Python library
• Project management: Brainverse

Thanks for you interest in contributing to NIDM-Workflows! Contributions to NIDM-Workflows are gathered on the work-in-progress NIDM-Worklows specification. Please feel free to commment directly on this document, submit an issue or email us. You can also join our weekly calls!

The work-in-progress NIDM-Experiment specification is available here.

• NIDM-Experiment I/O (reference implementations): Python library

Thanks for you interest in contributing to NIDM-Experiment! Please feel free to submit an issue or email us. You can also join our weekly calls!

We meet every week by videoconference on Mondays at 8-9am PDT / 11am-12pm EDT / 4-5pm BST. The group is always open to new contributors interested in neuroimaging data sharing. To join the call or to ask any question, please email us at incf-nidash-nidm@googlegroups.com.
