FAIRsharing record for: 3D Microscopy Metadata Standards (3D-MMS)

This FAIRsharing record describes: The 3D Microscopy Metadata Standards (3D-MMS), developed by the BRAIN 3D Microscopy Working Group, help ensure that a 3D microscopy dataset is sufficiently described to support its’ re-use by scientists who did not generate the data. Adoption of 3D-MMS will aid investigators who want to share data, helping them to evaluate and decide which data can be combined. The metadata fields are organized into seven categories: Contributors, Funders, Publication, Instrument, Dataset, Specimen, and Image. Each metadata field is specified by a name, definition, a list of allowable values, whether it is required, and the number of times it can be repeated for a dataset.
