As science is becoming data-intensive and collaborative, data sharing and reusing are becoming increasingly important for rapid discovery and innovation. While sharing is as easy as few clicks in this era of digital data, reusing is difficult unless some strict data curation standards are followed. To address this issue, curation guidelines are provided to all SPARC funded researchers for organizing and sharing their datasets such that researchers who were not directly involved in data collection and analysis can rapidly understand and work with the data, as promoted by the FAIR principles. Complying with these guidelines, however, requires additional time investment from the researchers and is subject to human error. The data curation process could thus become time-consuming and overwhelming as more and more data is generated and, eventually, steer the focus away from data collection and analysis. The objective of this project is to continue the development of SODA (Software for Organizing Data Automatically), the software being developed to assist SPARC funded researchers in curating their datasets. Distributed as an opensource and cross-platform desktop application, the goal of SODA is to bridge a long-standing, overlooked gap between comprehensive data standards and their convenient application by researchers. This is achieved by providing an interactive interface that, without requiring any coding knowledge, walks SPARC researchers step-by-step through the data curation process, all the while automating repetitive, complex, and time-consuming tasks. The proposed project is very significant for its potential to simplify and enhance the SPARC data curation process. Computer-assisted data curation will not only reduce the time required by researchers to organize their data but also minimize – if not eliminate – human error. The resulting rapid dissemination of SPARC data will enhance SPARC’s mission of accelerating the development of therapeutic devices that modulate electrical activity in nerves to improve organ function. Components of this study are part of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to speed scientific solutions to understand the basis of pain and enhance clinical pain management.

随着科学变得数据密集型和协作性，数据共享和重用对于快速发现和创新变得越来越重要，而共享只需点击几下即可轻松完成。 在这个数字数据时代，除非有一些严格的数据管理标准，否则重用是很困难的。 为了解决这个问题，向所有 SPARC 资助的研究人员提供了管理指南。 用于组织和共享他们的数据集，以便那些没有直接参与的研究人员 数据收集和分析可以快速理解和使用数据，正如 然而，遵守这些准则需要额外的时间投入。 因此，数据管理过程可能会受到研究人员的影响，并且可能会出现人为错误。 随着越来越多的数据生成并最终引导，这既耗时又令人难以承受 该项目的目标是继续关注数据收集和分析。 SODA（自动组织数据软件）的开发，该软件是 旨在帮助 SPARC 资助的研究人员固化他们的数据集。 和跨平台桌面应用程序，SODA 的目标是弥合长期存在的、 忽视了全面的数据标准与其便捷应用之间的差距 研究人员可以通过提供交互式界面来实现这一点，而无需任何操作。 编码知识，引导 SPARC 研究人员逐步完成数据管理过程，所有 同时自动化重复、复杂且耗时的任务。 拟议的项目对于简化和增强 SPARC 数据的潜力非常重要 计算机辅助数据管理不仅会减少所需的时间。 研究人员不仅要组织数据，还要最大限度地减少（如果不能消除的话）人为错误。 SPARC 数据的快速传播将增强 SPARC 的使命，即加速 开发调节神经电活动以改善器官的治疗装置 功能。 这项研究的组成部分是 NIH 帮助消除成瘾长期 (HEAL) 计划的一部分，旨在加快科学解决方案的速度，以了解疼痛的基础并临床加强疼痛管理。
