BEP028

This repository contains BIDS Extension Proposal 028 : BIDS-prov, a provenance framework for BIDS.

Our goal

Interpreting and comparing scientific results and enabling reusable data and analysis output require understanding provenance, i.e. how the data were generated and processed. To be useful, the provenance must be understandable, easily communicated, and captured automatically in machine accessible form. Provenance records are thus used to encode transformations between digital objects.

Who is building BEP 028 ✨

Camille Maumet (@cmaumet) and Satrajit Ghosh (@satra) are the BEP co-moderators. Here is the list of all contributors (emoji key):

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!

BIDS-prov in the NIDM project

The Neuroimaging Data Model (NIDM) is a collection of specification documents that define extensions the W3C PROV standard for the domain of human brain mapping.

BIDS-prov is a BIDS extension that is compatible with NIDM.

How to help

Our goal is to extends BIDS to be able to track provenance at every stage of an experiment.

For this purpose we have to propose changes to the BIDS specification.

The BIDS specification is rendered as a webpage at https://bids-specification.readthedocs.io.

The website is built from a GitHub repository that consists of mostly markdown files at https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification. If you don't know much about markdown, here's a good intro guide.
