Kennedy Consulting, United States The Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC, www.nitrc.org), initiated October 2006 through the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, is a user friendly, web based knowledge environment for the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and associated structural analysis community. Through identification of existing tools and resources valuable to this community, NITRC's goal is to develop a knowledge environment to enhance, adopt, distribute, and contribute to the evolution of neuroimaging tools and resources.The INCF Software Center (software.incf.org) was founded as a resource for neuroscience software users and developers. As a web site offering developers tools for distributing software and tracking issues and offering users a way to search for tools appropriate to their needs and provide feedback on the software, the Software Center serves the needs of both groups while connecting the two.While NITRC and the Software Center are complementary, NITRC existing as a community around a wide range of neuroimaging resources and the Software Center focusing on software for the wider neuroscience community, there is significant overlap in the information provided on each. For a large set of core software packages, each site provides general information, documentation, downloads, and opportunity for user feedback. Rather than having two sites cover this common ground, we are sharing this information, allowing developers to provide information to a single source and allowing users to know that the information they find on either site will be consistent and authoritative.NITRC and the Software Center each downloads daily a machine-readable representation of the information hosted by the other, resolves conflicts, and incorporates the information locally. Conflicts are handled at the resource (NITRC) or software package (Software Center) level: entries that are common to both sites are not updated by the remote data. In addition, while the Software Center ignores non-software NITRC resources, NITRC ignores Software Center packages that are not within its scope.Shared entities are imported seamlessly but without duplication of effort. While the summary statement, license, keywords, and other basic information for an imported entry are provided directly by the target site, the documentation, downloads, and user reviews are kept in a single location on the source site but presented on the target site in its standard format. This allows each site to present the common entries in a way consistent to that site while keeping a single, authoritative source for information and data.While NITRC and the INCF Software Center are complementary resources, the common ground between the two is a potential problem, inviting duplication of effort and multiple sources of the same information. Through careful sharing on this common ground, these problems have been mitigated while preserving each site's core focus. Conference: Neuroinformatics 2009, Pilsen, Czechia, 6 Sep - 8 Sep, 2009.
