In this paper, we describe an instance of the Northwestern University Schizophrenia Data and Software Tool (NUSDAST), a schizophrenia-related dataset hosted at XNAT Central, and the SchizConnect data portal used for accessing and sharing the dataset. NUSDAST was built and extended upon existing, standard schemas available for data sharing on XNAT Central (http://central.xnat.org/). With the creation of SchizConnect, we were able to link NUSDAST to other neuroimaging data sources and create a powerful, federated neuroimaging resource.

Framework for identifying, locating, relating, accessing, integrating, and analyzing information from neuroscience research. Users can search for and add neuroscience-related resources at NIF portal and receive and RRID to track and cite resources within scientific manuscripts.
View all literature mentionsA freely editable semantic wiki for community-based curation of the terms used in Neuroscience. Entries are curated and eventually incorporated into the formal NIFSTD ontology. NeuroLex also includes a Resource branch for community members to freely add neuroscience relevant resources that do not become part of NIFSTD ontology but rather make up the NIF Registry. As part of the NIF, we provide a simple search interface to many different sources of neuroscience information and data. To make this search more effective, we are constructing ontologies to help organize neuroscience concepts into category hierarchies, e.g., neuron is a cell. These categories provide the means to perform more effective searches and also to organize and understand the information that is returned. But an important adjunct to this activity is to clearly define all of the terms that we use to describe our data, e.g., anatomical terms, techniques, organism names. Because wikis provide an easy interface for communities to contribute their knowledge, we started the NeuroLex.
View all literature mentionsOnline repository of open access images including MR Sessions, MRI, Freesurfer APARC, Freesurfer ASEGs, Clinical Assessments, Atlas Scaling Factors, and Fast Segmentations data. CENTRAL currently contains 374 Projects, 3808 Subjects, and 5174 Imaging Sessions (June 2014). Central is powered by XNAT (The Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit), an open source software platform designed to facilitate management and exploration of neuroimaging and related data. XNAT includes a secure database backend and a rich web-based user interface.
