With the emergence of brain research initiatives around the world, the need for standards to facilitate neuroscience data sharing is growing. A crucial first step will be to establish a minimal metadata standard that allows the discovery of and access to similar or related data sets. This will be a key element of an open neuroscience-data ecosystem in which data is valued, preserved and reused.
