In the past, MI datasets were frequently proprietary, confined to particular institutions, and stored in private repositories. In this particular setting, there is a pressing need for alternative models of data sharing, documentation, and governance. Within this context,theemergence ofCommunityContributed Platforms (CCPs) presented a potential for the public sharing of medical datasets.
