The mission statement of the Accessibility Working Group is to:
1) promote data sharing by developing standardized communications protocols (including authorization steps) that are platform agnostic, low cost, and readily available; and
2) design mechanisms to ensure that metadata access remains persistently independent of primary image data longevity.
This Working Group will also explore recommendations to develop scripts/automated tools for parameter extraction from metadata files produced by different tomographic scanners that will make interpretation of those metadata easier for audiences with a diverse range of experience.
