Shanoir Exchange Format (SEF)

The idea behind the Shanoir Exchange Format (SEF) is to simplify and standardise data exchange around Shanoir. This means to standardise imports into Shanoir and exports from Shanoir, and exchanges of data between Shanoir instances: Shanoir-old and Shanoir-NG. As in the future we want to support BIDS exports and imports in Shanoir-NG, the basic idea is to base the SEF on BIDS and extend what is necessary for Shanoir exchange. The handling of this format should be put into a separate library to be used by ShanoirUploader and Shanoir servers in the future.

This page details the format.
