Minimal Information Standard (MIS)

SPARC MIS

Experimental metadata specified by the SPARC Data Standards Committee is described in the SPARC Minimal Information Standards. MIS metadata fields have been incorporated into the subjects and samples templates zip file. We also provide an annotated list of these fields.

Minimal Information about a Neuroscience Data Standard (MINDS)

MINDS is a metadata standard developed by the European Human Brain Project through INCF that provides a set of standardized fields for describing neuroscience data sets. MINDs has not yet been formally released to the public, but as it represents a reasonable set of metadata fields, we have adopted its use in SPARC to organize some of the descriptive metadata that accompanies SPARC data sets.
