====== International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility ======

Poline et al. considered the critical [[issue]] of [[data]] and other [[research]] object [[standardization]] and, specifically, how international [[collaboration]] and [[organization]]s such as the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) can encourage that emerging neuroscience data to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). As neuroscientists engaged in the [[sharing]] and integration of [[multi-modal]] and multiscale data, they saw the current insufficiency of [[standard]]s as a major impediment in the [[Interoperability]] and Reusability of research results. They called for increased international collaborative [[standardization]] of [[neuroscience]] data to foster [[integration]] and efficient reuse of [[research object]]s
