BIDS Apps execution specification

The Problem

Neuroimaging is a field with an enormous library of powerful tools and openly available datasets that can be difficult to get to work together.

Why do we need the BIDS Application Specification?

While BIDS is great for standardizing datasets, analytical tools can take a variety of forms, arguments, and complexities, limiting their ability to be applied interchangeably. The BIDS Application Specification solves this problem by creating a community-driven standardized structure for software definitions and their execution.
