Image Data Resource

The IDR makes datasets that have never previously been accessible publicly available, allowing the community to search, view, mine and even process and analyze large, complex, multidimensional life sciences image data. Sharing data promotes the validation of experimental methods and scientific conclusions, the comparison with new data obtained by the global scientific community, and enables data reuse by developers of new analysis and processing tools.

IDR（图像数据资源）致力于将那些先前从未公开可用的数据集予以开放，使得社区能够进行搜索、浏览、挖掘，甚至对大规模、复杂、多维的生命科学图像数据进行处理与分析。数据的共享推动了实验方法的验证和科学结论的证实，促进了与全球科学界新获得数据的对比，并允许新分析及处理工具的开发者进行数据重用。
