Project info

Title: Open Science Data Wallet

Project leads:
Achintya Kumar: @Ackintya
Shady El Damaty: @seldamat
Kinshuk Kashyap: @kinshukk

Timezone:
We will be working with a mixed timezone with atlantis (2PM-7PM UTC) preferred.
Shady: UTC-7
Achintya and Kinshuk: UTC+5:30

Description:
The DataWallet is a dashboard connecting users to the decentralized web, and providing the option to validate and upload BIDS-compliant neuroimaging data, along with relevant metadata (Authors, paper, description, etc.) to peer to peer storage (IPFS). Data provenance and versioning is done using datalad with a special remote for IPFS.

Mattermost handles:
Shady - seldamat
Kinshuk - kashyap_kinshuk
Achintya - achintya

Goals for the OHBM Brainhack

• Demonstrate uploading a BIDS-validated dataset to p2p storage through the datawallet. Currently this is buggy - the upload works but metadata doesn't get stored, so fetching the file list gives empty values.
• (stretch goal) Debug git-annex-remote-ipfs script, test integration with datalad. The issue with the bash script is most likely in the RETRIEVE procedure, as the files succesfully get uploaded to IPFS

Good first issues:

• Creating different fields for metadata before uploading to Database - Add a welcome tile/popup with description about each tab when opened opscientia/web3weekend-hackathon#20
• Add a welcome tile/popup with description about each tab when opened - Add a welcome tile/popup with description about each tab when opened opscientia/web3weekend-hackathon#20

Skills:

• Javascript
• BIDS
• Git and Github
• UI/UX
• datalad
• BASH scripting
• Interest in opening up science for everyone!

Project submission

Submission checklist

Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under 'Additional project info'

Please include the following above (all required):

• Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc. See here
• Include your Mattermost handle (i.e. your username). If you do not have an account, please sign up here.
• Goals for the OHBM Brainhack: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack. See here.
• Flesh out at least 2 "good first issues": those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document, cf here.
• Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill, cf. here.
• Chat channel: A link to a chat channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack. This can be an existing channel or a new one. We recommend using the Brainhack space on mattermost, cf. here.
• Provide an image of your project for the OHBM brainhack website

You can also include information about (all optional):

• Someone co-leading the project in the timeslot you have not selected to provide additional visibility.
• Number of participants, cf. here
• Twitter-size summary of your project pitch, cf. here
• Set up a kanban board on your repository to better divide the work and keep track of things, cf here
• Project snippet for the OHBM Brainhack website, cf. here

We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. We recommend reading references from this section. If you'd like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about (recommended):

• Specify how will you acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).
• Provide links to onboarding documents if you have some.

QMENTA has agreed to sponsor the event and provide computational resources through their platform.

• Get in touch with QMENTA through their Brain Innovation Hub Slack space, if you think your project would benefit from their support.
