The NIDM Working Group is further developing the NeuroImaging Data Model (NIDM) originally conceived by the INCF Neuro Imaging DAta SHaring (NIDASH) Task Force and the BIRN Derived Data Working Group (DDWG).
NIDM describes an extension of the W3C PROV standard for the domain of human brain mapping and, in recent years, has been working closely with the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS).
Currently this Working Group has two active subgroups focusing on:
- NIDM-experiment: Interlinkage of existing BIDS datasets chaired by David Keator
- BIDS-Prov: Representing neuroimaging provenance (follow up of NIDM-Worklows) chaired by Camille Maumet and Satrajit Ghosh
Previously this group developed NIDM-Results, a software-agnostic model to represent results of mass univariate studies (such as fMRI studies).
Regular calls. Work is coordinated on GitHub.

The goal of this Working Group is to foster collaboration among the standards developers working on NIDM, and to provide a common location where users of NIDM can find related information and resources.
- NeuroImaging Data Model development: further develop the model to include harmonized terminology and provenance information for pipelines and datasets (expected)
- Develop input interfaces to save information in standardized provenance model (eg. ReproSchema) (expected)
- Developing ReproLake: NIDM metadata representation for a number of datasets and derived data will be made available in "ReproLake" hosted by NIF (expected)
