SPARC Minimal Information Standard (MIS)

The minimal metadata and data model for SPARC research objects:

SPARC Dataset MIS: The minimal information model for SPARC datasets, developed by the SPARC Standards Committee. The MIS is encoded in TTL/OWL and is viewable using the Protege Ontology Editor.

The MIS has evolved over time as SPARC standards evolve or new standards are incorporated. For example, MIS 3.0 contains the SPARC Standards for Optical Microscopy Imaging Data and Imaging Metadata.

The SPARC Optical Microscopy Imaging Data and Metadata standard ensures a consistent set of microscopy imaging-specific metadata for primary and derivative imaging data across the SPARC ecosystem is included in experimental datasets.
