foundingGIDE Deliverable D6.1: Report in metadata model overlap and gaps

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this report is to define the metadata harmonization requirements across various data resources to enhance the interoperability of bioimaging data. To achieve this, we first compared the metadata models of the major bioimaging data resources – BioImage Archive (BIA), Image Data Resource (IDR), and SSBD:database – to identify overlaps and differences of metadata components, as well as to determine the metadata components and ontologies that should be harmonized. Next, we analyzed various use cases for bioimaging data reuse, identifying the necessary metadata components, suitable ontologies, controlled vocabularies, and relevant communities to clarify the requirements for metadata harmonization that would facilitate data reuse. Finally, we provided milestones for BIA, IDR, and SSBD to achieve metadata harmonization for global bioimaging data sharing. Additionally, we briefly explored metadata management and sharing methods to consider a more sustainable and flexible framework for bioimaging data integration. This version has been approved by the EC.
