Title: Developing a modality-independent BIDS Connectivity data schema
Project lead: Eugene Duff (eduff),
Timezone: London UTC+1
Hub: Europe , possibly Americas
Description:
The Generic BIDS connectivity data schema is a BIDS proposal submitted to explore the development of standards for representing connectivity data BIDS derivative schemas across modalities. This would enable easier integration of multimodal data in tools, and ease the expansion of BIDS to cover more modalities. Now derivative schemas across more modalities are becoming more mature, and simpler elements of data representation have been addressed, now is a good time to review the status of connectivity data representation and determine what a "meta" schema might be able to provide in this context.

@eduff123
Goals for the OHBM Brainhack
- Complete a thorough review of how connectivity is being implemented in other BIDS Derivatives to determine how common principles might be integrated or linked to a generic schema
- To review and refine existing proposal for a BIDS Generic Connectivity Schema
- To discuss whether there is a role for "meta" schemas in BIDS
- To update the Schema implementation, web pages, and build an active team
Good first issues:
- Review schema document (possibly considering a specific modality as use case)
- Begin document reviewing existing and potential BIDS connectivity schema
Skills:
(none required)
- experience with working with connectivity data
- an interest in machine readable data schemas
- an interest in visualisation of connectivity data

Submission checklist
Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under 'Additional project info'
Please include the following above (all required):
- Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc. See here
- Include your Mattermost handle (i.e. your username). If you do not have an account, please sign up here.
- Goals for the OHBM Brainhack: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack. See here.
- Flesh out at least 2 "good first issues": those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document, cf here.
- Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill, cf. here.
- Chat channel: A link to a chat channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack. This can be an existing channel or a new one. We recommend using the Brainhack space on mattermost, cf. here.
- [ x ] Video channel: Please create a video channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack and share it in your chat channel above. This can be an existing channel or a new one. For instance a jitsi meet room, cf. here.
- Provide an image of your project for the OHBM brainhack website
You can also include information about (all optional):
- Number of participants, cf. 6
- Twitter-size summary of your project pitch, cf. here
- Set up a kanban board on your repository to better divide the work and keep track of things, cf here
- Project snippet for the OHBM Brainhack website, cf. here
We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. We recommend reading references from this section. If you'd like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about (recommended):
- Specify how will you acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).
- Provide links to onboarding documents if you have some.
