Founding a Global Image Data Ecosystem
Enhancing the interoperability of image data resources through global coordination of technical developments.
The Global Image Data Ecosystem (GIDE) connects different biological and preclinical image data resources across the globe to allow metadata and data sharing. foundingGIDE project is laying the foundations of GIDE.
foundingGIDE is bringing together image data resource owners and research infrastructures from Europe, Australia and Japan to develop the basis of interoperable image data repositories.
The sheer scale and limited standardisation of image data makes data sharing a challenge. The foundingGIDE project works on identifying common ontologies and metadata frameworks to allow efficient data management and sharing across different image data resources, while promoting data interoperability and potential reuse.
A key enabling factor for a GIDE is coordination among global communities. The project will bring together global research infrastructures together with research communities for democratizing access to quality image data
