[Neuroimaging] Planning for data formats - upcoming journal club

[Anderson M. Winkler]

Hi Matthew, hi all,

I put some thinking on this a few years ago and concluded that HDF5 would
be ideal. The blog post you link was already up and I didn't feel deterred
by it, despite the interesting insights.

At the time I put online a document for discussion (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s5DX4YPS680mc3Rb9msLetrjlPcDhaw835Um-jJb-Dw/edit?usp=sharing)
and as a starting point, made a mapping to how we'd store NIFTI as HDF5 (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hL27J2wNqHj27aX3VrCY8ajHyIBYtgYVmNmSoZZC8aA/edit?usp=sharing
).

At the end, I had to focus on other things, including career (and country)
moves, and couldn't spend time and effort on this, despite the fact that
the needs from then continue very much the same as today (if not perhaps
even more needed now than then...).

I'd be happy to participate in any effort you or others may lead towards
this.

Cheers,

Anderson
