Start documenting repositories for data/resource sharing

[adamltyson]

Lots of people ask this, and I think it's only going to become more important:

Off the top of my head:

• http://www.brainimagelibrary.org/ - brain imaging data (e.g. brainsaw)
• https://idr.openmicroscopy.org/ - any microscopy
• https://www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage-archive/ - any bioimage
• https://dandiarchive.org/ - neurophysiology
• https://nemoarchive.org/ - omics
• http://openneuro.org/ - BIDS datasets
• https://www.v2.opensourcebrain.org/ - any neuroscience data (the data itself must be hosted elsewhere though)
• https://crcns.org/ - comp neuro
• brainglobe - atlases
• addgene - plasmids etc
• GIN - anything
• UCL Figshare - anything UCL
• https://ebrains.eu/service/share-data - any neuro data?
• SWC globus - anything, but not that user friendly, nor disoverable

Maybe a table with relevant info (e.g. data types supported, max file sizes) and pros/cons?

@neuroinformatics-unit/neuroinformatics-team please add any more you know of. I'm sure more were mentioned at the neurodatashare meeting.

https://datadryad.org/stash - anything

[niksirbi]

• Zenodo - anything

Also, for discovering datasets (as opposed to sharing them), Google Dataset Search is great

Genomic resources (maybe they are too obvious??):

• https://flybase.org/ - fruitfly genomes
• https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ - well known genomes data and tools

Connectome (EM)

• https://www.microns-explorer.org/ - layers 2/3 connectivity + cortical explorer
• fly connectome, long link!

Genomic resources (maybe they are too obvious??):

Not that obvious, I hadn't heard of them.

I guess we should define what fields we want to support in this effort though. Where's the cutoff?

• SWC
• Mouse/systems neuro
• All neuroscience

[alessandrofelder]

Image Data Resource? already mentioned above 🤦

Agree about defining a cut-off! At the risk of overengineering it, should we have two lists?

• a list of the key SWC-related things that we maintain, curate and recommend
• a list of the things we heard of once and might be nice, but we don't really know about/explicitly support

[adamltyson]

Sounds good, maybe something like:

• Curated table of the main, SWC-relevant repositories, with pros/cons, feedback from researchers.
• A basic list of the others with any info we happen to have

The cut off could be something like "repositories an SWC researcher might use in the next 12 months"?

[adamltyson]

• https://neuromorpho.org/ - neuronal morphologies
• https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/ - comp neuro models
• http://ccdb.ucsd.edu/home - cell images
