Benefits of MIBBI <ul><li>The ability to re-use existing checklists </li></ul><ul><li>More eyes, more robust guidelines </li></ul><ul><li>Consistent data representation with Neuroscience </li></ul><ul><li>Interoperability across life-science </li></ul><ul><li>Time re-directed to tools and applications and research </li></ul>
