Utilizing Maps

To support the goal of making our research products available for reuse we need to provide documentation and examples to ensure that the SPARC maps we publish to the SPARC Portal (and related software) are accessible to end biomedical users. This includes the flatmaps, organ scaffolds, and scaffold maps, as well as the software required for non-expert users to be able to access these maps and the underlying computational artifacts from which they are derived. A high-level overview of the SPARC data curation and mapping efforts is provided in The SPARC DRC: Building a resource for the autonomic nervous system community.

Creating and displaying your own flatmaps

From: https://docs.sparc.science/v1.0/docs/documentation-examples-and-software-for-map-reuse#/

Learn more about flatmaps, how to view them on the SPARC Portal, and work through the detailed instructions on how to create your own flatmap.

Map data onto an organ scaffold

The process for mapping data to the organ scaffolds is described in some detail in The SPARC DRC: Building a resource for the autonomic nervous system community.

A complete description on how to map data onto an organ scaffold can be found on the SPARC Portal.

Reuse a generic organ scaffold map

Learn more about organ scaffolds, how to reuse an existing organ scaffold, and publish a generic organ scaffold as a SPARC Dataset.

Reusing Scaffolds

Reuse a scaffold or flatmap viewer

Approved flatmaps and published scaffolds can be viewed on the portal with viewers created using the Vue.Js framework and these viewers can be reused and deployed elsewhere. Find out how to re-use the Vuers

Scaffold Mapping Tools to Map:

• Image Data
• Physiological Data
• Image Data from a Flatmap preparation
