The Report of the 1st INCF Workshop on Mouse and Rat Brain Digital  
Atlasing Systems is available at:

The workshop recommended to:

based neuroinformatics infrastructure as an organizing entity for  
data sharing and relating previously disparate knowledge bases into a  
linked system.
•	The INCF is in a unique position to help coordinate the creation of  
standards and tools to harvest and maintain data and metadata.
•	The INCF should encourage open standards for protocol, tools, and  
even specific data sets and atlases.
•	There is a need for much more accessible data on connections among  
CNS regions and neurons incorporated into atlases to enrich  
functional network analysis.
•	Infrastructure and tools developed should be open, generally  
available, and easy to use.
