The mission statement of the Findability Working Group is to:
1) establish formal guidelines for developing persistent, informative identifiers of tomography data;
2) determine repository minimum standards that can ensure short-term and long-term discovery; and
3) transform dataset findability by integrating the implementation of identifiers and repository guidelines for use by data archives.
As part of its mission, this Working Group will also be tasked with addressing questions about archiving and storage of the data and metadata, for which it will develop a scalable system of best practices that can be shared with labs around the world according to their available resources.
