Hi Satra, Yes, there's a dictionary service. It produce JSON, which is machine readable and with some work could be turned into something human readable. The API is still being documented and is described in some detail in a manuscript currently in review at Frontiers in Neuroinformatics.
You'll recall that the basic definitions are here: https://db.humanconnectome.org/REST/services/ddict/categories - gives the list of categories https://db.humanconnectome.org/REST/services/ddict/attributes - gives a JSON collection of all of the defined attributes We have a google summer of code project queued up through INCF for someone to turn this into a semantically-enabled endpoint. Feel free to direct smart students to apply to do the work: http://incf.org/gsoc/2014/proposals. If we don't get any takers, we'll eventually get to it internally, but not for a while. -Dan From: Satrajit Ghosh <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, February 27, 2014 8:10 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [HCP-Users] machine readable data dictionary hi, is there a URL for a machine readable data dictionary for the human connectome project data? cheers, satra _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users
