DataLad EBRAINS extension

EBRAINS is a digital research infrastructure, created by the EU-funded Human Brain Project, that gathers an extensive range of data and tools for brain related research. EBRAINS capitalizes on the work performed by the Human Brain Project teams in digital neuroscience, brain medicine and brain-inspired technology.

The purpose of this DataLad extension package is to represent and retrieve EBRAINS datasets as DataLad datasets (without requiring downloading or duplication of datasets hosted on EBRAINS) to make them compatible with the wider DataLad ecosystem.

Commands provided by this extension

• ebrains-authenticate -- Obtain an EBRAINS authentication token
• ebrains-clone -- Export a dataset from the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph as a DataLad dataset

See the documentation for details: http://docs.datalad.org/projects/ebrains/en/latest/
