The Neuroscience Information Framework Presents this week's NeuroTools Webinar on March 2nd, 2018:
Title: DataLad (RRID:SCR_003931) - Decentralized Distribution And Management Of Scientific Datasets
RRID: [ Ссылка ]
Presenter: Dr. Yaroslav O. Halchenko:
Currently the Research Assistant Professor at Psychology and Brain sciences department at Dartmouth, leading the Center for Open Neuroscience, Dr. Yaroslav O. Halchenko holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and got post-doctoral training at Dartmouth College. He is a neuroimaging research scientist, an official Debian developer, a member of INCF neuroimaging task force, and a lead of PyMVPA, NeuroDebian, DataLad and other projects. With the goal of contributing to our understanding of the brain function, Dr. Halchenko is interested in developing new and formalizing existing analysis methodologies and software solutions in the domain of computational and cognitive neuroscience.
Synopsis of Webinar: DataLad ([ Ссылка ]) is ongoing work funded by NSF and German BMBF, to adapt the model of open-source software (OSS) distributions to address the technical limitations of today's data-sharing and to provide all components of a "data distribution" and "data management platform". The key concepts are: 1) Leverage - but do not replace - independent, existing, and future data hosting solutions to form a federated platform for data-sharing. 2) Employ software for data tracking and deployment logistics specialized for large data (git-annex) built atop Git, the most capable distributed version control system (dVCS) available today, to enable efficient data access at any level of granularity (from single files to entire collections of datasets). DataLad provides access to data available from various sources (e.g. lab or consortium web-sites such as INDI; data sharing portals such as openfmri.org ([ Ссылка ]) and crcns.org ([ Ссылка ])) through a single interface. It enables students and scientists to operate on data using familiar concepts, such as files and directories, while transparently managing data access and authorization with underlying hosting providers.
