CONP dataset is a repository containing the datasets available in the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform. It leverages DataLad to store metadata and references to data files distributed in various storage spaces and accessible depending on each data owner's policy.
The instructions below explain how to find and get data from the dataset. You can also add data by following the instructions in our contribution guidelines. We welcome your feedback! 😃
The dataset is structured as follows:
investigators
contains sub-datasets for investigators.projects
contains sub-datasets for projects.
Investigators and projects are responsible for the management and curation of their own sub-datasets.
sudo apt-get install git
It is useful to configure your git
credentials to avoid having to enter them repeatedly:
git config --global user.name "yourusername"
git config --global user.email "your.name@your.institution.ca"
First install the neurodebian package repository:
sudo apt-get install neurodebian
Then install the version of git-annex included in this repository:
sudo apt-get install git-annex-standalone
The version of git-annex installed can be verified with:
git annex version
As of August 14 2019, this installs git annex v 7.20190730, which works with CONP datasets. Earlier versions of git-annex may not.
sudo apt-get install datalad
Install the main CONP dataset on your computer:
datalad install -r http://github.com/CONP-PCNO/conp-dataset
Get the files you are interested in:
datalad get <file_name>
This may require authentication depending on the data owner's configuration.
You can also search for relevant files and sub-datasets as follows:
datalad search T1
