Project info

Title: Developing a modality-independent BIDS Connectivity data schema

Project lead: Eugene Duff (eduff),

Timezone: London UTC+1

Hub: Europe , possibly Americas

Description:
The Generic BIDS connectivity data schema is a BIDS proposal submitted to explore the development of standards for representing connectivity data BIDS derivative schemas across modalities. This would enable easier integration of multimodal data in tools, and ease the expansion of BIDS to cover more modalities. Now derivative schemas across more modalities are becoming more mature, and simpler elements of data representation have been addressed, now is a good time to review the status of connectivity data representation and determine what a "meta" schema might be able to provide in this context.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ugBdUF6dhElXdj3u9vw0iWjE6f_Bibsro3ah7sRV0GA/edit#heading=h.4xwnp2872y57

Mattermost handle:
@eduff123

Goals for the OHBM Brainhack

• Complete a thorough review of how connectivity is being implemented in other BIDS Derivatives to determine how common principles might be integrated or linked to a generic schema
• To review and refine existing proposal for a BIDS Generic Connectivity Schema
• To discuss whether there is a role for "meta" schemas in BIDS
• To update the Schema implementation, web pages, and build an active team

Good first issues:

• Review schema document (possibly considering a specific modality as use case)
• Begin document reviewing existing and potential BIDS connectivity schema

Skills:
(none required)

• experience with working with connectivity data
• an interest in machine readable data schemas
• an interest in visualisation of connectivity data

Project submission

Submission checklist

Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under 'Additional project info'

Please include the following above (all required):

• Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc. See here
• Include your Mattermost handle (i.e. your username). If you do not have an account, please sign up here.
• Goals for the OHBM Brainhack: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack. See here.
• Flesh out at least 2 "good first issues": those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document, cf here.
• Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill, cf. here.
• Chat channel: A link to a chat channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack. This can be an existing channel or a new one. We recommend using the Brainhack space on mattermost, cf. here.
• [ x ] Video channel: Please create a video channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack and share it in your chat channel above. This can be an existing channel or a new one. For instance a jitsi meet room, cf. here.
• Provide an image of your project for the OHBM brainhack website

You can also include information about (all optional):

• Number of participants, cf. 6
• Twitter-size summary of your project pitch, cf. here
• Set up a kanban board on your repository to better divide the work and keep track of things, cf here
• Project snippet for the OHBM Brainhack website, cf. here

We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. We recommend reading references from this section. If you'd like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about (recommended):

• Specify how will you acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).
• Provide links to onboarding documents if you have some.

@eduff do you have a video channel for your project? Would you add that information to the mattermost channel, please? Thanks.

Dear @eduff123 Once you set your video channel, please share it in your Mattermost channel and pin it to the channel, but not share here to avoid any unwanted interference, please. Could you please let us know regarding completion of this then we will complete the revision. Thank you 🤗

[eduff]

apologies, I missed the previous message. I will set this up, but am in a series of meetings currently - if necessary can the revision be completed regardless

Sure @eduff I will complete the revision for you but would you please let us know when you are done that since we are curating all those links in a centralized file for easy access, so your link is missing atm. But other than that all seems good with your project. Welcome aboard! 🤗 🎊

Hi - sorry I added the video last night to the mattermost chat.
