Neuroimaging is increasingly relying on tools to store, manage, and share data and meta data. A number of open databasing tools have been developed and there are several new initiatives to promote neuroimaging datasharing. Simple and global access to neuroimaging data and metadata will profoundly impact the field.

This workshop will allow members of the neuroimaging community to meet developers of neuroimaging dabasing tools. We propose to review the motivation for sharing neuroimaging (raw or processed) data, how this can be done today, and discuss what would the community need in the future to help exchange and share data, and what would be the impact on the science performed in the field.

During the meeting, we will review all the necessary technical, community and legal or ethical aspects of datasharing, including brief reviews of some current databasing or processing tools, discussions on provenance and ontologies, etc. We hope that the meeting will help clarify where the efforts should go to make neuroimaging datasharing easier and change or improve our daily research.

This workshop will gather renowned speakers on neuroimaging databasing systems and their relation to raw or processed data with specific interest in making data sharing easier. We plan to leave enough time to allow discussions on the various aspects of data sharing (technical, legal, etc). The end of the day will open to new ways of using the web resources and potentially thinking of our research or clinical activity.
