Aim of Data Standards and Sharing WG
Maximize data sharing across Brain Initiatives
Charge from the IBI Strategy Committee• Gather data governance/management plans and goals of BIs• Define common interests/needs, and domains of cooperation• Recommend up to three potential projects within the next year
• Develop a theme or framework for a potential white paper
Mission statement:
