Working with Datasets

Datasets contain Project files that can be organized into folders and annotated with metadata. This section covers how to use the Dataset features including validating data structures and publishing controlled Dataset versions for sharing.

Datasets extend Projects with comprehensive data management functionalities. Importantly, each Project can have multiple Datasets associated with it, but each Dataset can only be populated with data from a single Project.

How it Works

After creating a Dataset, Project files are selected and copied into it from the Project Core. Within the Dataset you can reorganize files, validate the file structure against standardized models (currently, the BIDS - Brain Imaging Data Structure - is supported), enrich the Dataset with metadata annotations, and create controlled versions for sharing.

Prerequisites

• A Project role with access to data in the Core.
