foundingGIDE Deliverable D8.1 Recommended harmonised metadata model for preclinical image datasets

The use of diverse imaging technologies in preclinical imaging research generates large volumes of heterogeneous data. Currently, the absence of standardized and structured metadata often limits the discoverability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of these datasets within the scientific community. The objective of this deliverable is to define a common metadata model for preclinical imaging datasets that meets the needs of preclinical imaging centers while supporting FAIR data management principles. To achieve this goal, the PRISM (PReclinical Imaging Standardized Metadata) model was developed with the involvement of international experts in preclinical imaging. The implementation of the PRISM model will improve the discoverability, interoperability, accessibility, reproducibility, and reusability of datasets across preclinical imaging infrastructures and repositories.
