SSBD

SSBD promotes bioimaging data sharing and reuse by operating as a two-tiered data resource comprising a public repository and a curated database within an international bioimaging data ecosystem.

Key Features:

• SSBD:repository: A public repository for the sharing of all types of bioimaging data reported in journals.
• SSBD:database: An added-value database for the sharing of curated, highly reusable, metadata-rich data.
• Cross-resource harmonization: Harmonizing metadata between data resources enables cross-searching and data exchange with data resources from other countries and regions.

Scientific Applications:

• Global image data ecosystem integration: SSBD serves as a core repository and database within foundingGIDE, an international consortium working to establish a global image data ecosystem.

Methodology:

SSBD implements a two-tiered architecture separating rapid data publication from richly annotated data sharing, with metadata harmonization enabling cross-searching and data exchange with international data resources.
