Highlights
Integration of neuroscience data may be compared to a multi-dimensional puzzle
The challenge may be described as related to 1) accumulation, storage, management, and sharing of data—the “databasing challenge”, 2) development and sharing of tools for data analyses—the “tools challenge”, and 3) creation and validation of computational models of brain structure and function built on the available data—the “modeling challenge”
The ontology of a database is the definition of the elements and the relationships between the elements included in the database
Summary
Integration of neuroscience data may be compared to a multi-dimensional puzzle. One dimension of the puzzle is time. The challenge may be described as related to 1) accumulation, storage, management, and sharing of data—the “databasing challenge”, 2) development and sharing of tools for data analyses—the “tools challenge”, and 3) creation and validation of computational models of brain structure and function built on the available data—the “modeling challenge”. The databasing challenge: Each of the multiple levels of investigation generates vast amounts of primary data of many different formats.
