Policies Overview
Policies on Community-driven Development and Integration of New Neuroscience Technologies with NWB
NWB Extension Sharing:
Requirements and strategy for sharing format extensions for NWB
Standard practices and strategies for sharing format extensions for NWB
Requirements and strategy for versioning namespaces for the NWB core schema and extensions
NWB Extension Proposal (NEP) process
Process by which extensions to the NWB core standard are proposed, evaluated, reviewed, and accepted
process for evaluation and review of NWB Extension Proposals (NEPs) by a review working group (RWG) to provide guidance and a formal framework for RWG members.
Requirements and strategy for versioning namespaces for the NWB core schema and extensions
NWB Technical Advisory Board
Information about the TAB, role, and membership.
Software and Data Standard Policies
General release cycle for the NWB and HDMF software and schema
Standard practices for versioning and maintaining compatibility between different versions of the NWB and HDMF software and schema
Standard process for management of issues on core NWB software and schema code repositories.
Collection of additional guidelines on common best practices to facilitate consistent use of the NWB standard and help avoid common problems and most effectively leverage the NWB data standard and its ecosystem of software tools.
Project-specific Policies
Advancing Standardization of Neurophysiology Data Through Dissemination of NWB
NWB U24: User Selection and Prioritization Plan: Process by which users, developers, issues, and tools are selected for support for NWB training and integration as part of the NIH project “Advancing Standardization of Neurophysiology Data Through Dissemination of NWB”
DataJoint / NWB Roadmap (external): DataJoint and NWB are two neuroinformatics initiatives in active development. The projects develop independently yet they have complementary aims and overlapping user communities. This document establishes key processes for coordinating development and communications in order to promote integration and interoperability across the two ecosystems.
Collection of additional guidelines on common best practices to facilitate consistent use of the NWB standard and help avoid common problems and most effectively leverage the NWB data standard and its ecosystem of software tools.
