Participants : Justine Guillaumont, Michael Kain, Yao Yao, Christian Barillot.

Shanoir (Sharing NeurOImaging Resources) is an open source neuroinformatics platform designed to archive, structure, manage, visualize and share neuroimaging data with an emphasis on multi-centric collaborative research projects (Figure 2). It provides a user-friendly interface, a secure web access and offers an intuitive workflow to facilitate the collecting and retrieving of neuroimaging data from multiple sources and a wizard to make the completion of metadata easy. Shanoir comes along many features of neuroimaging data management systems along with research-oriented data imaging organization and enhanced data accessibility, support multi-centers clinical studies on subjects or group of subjects and other functionalities such as anonymization of data. For a better distribution/replication of stored data on a Shanoir server an export and import function on base of XML has been developed for the usage of server administrators.

Shanoir APP registration number is: IDDN.FR.001.520021.003.S.A.2008.000.31230
