Brede Wiki is a wiki with structured information from neuroscience and other research areas. It contains primarily information from published peer-reviewed neuroimaging articles. It is available from

http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/wiki/

Like the Brede Database the Brede Wiki is maintained by Finn Årup Nielsen. Data from the wiki is available from

http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/services/bredewiki/download/

Issues raise by Rolf Kötter:[1]

Data acquisition 
Data and text can be entered with raw wiki text entry (as in Wikipedia), from SPM with Matlab script or from a Personality Genetics wiki.
Data quality control 
There is no formal quality control yet.
Data representation 
Structured data is stored with MediaWiki templates that can be exported to SQL and SKOS
System implementation 
Apache, PHP, MySQL, MediaWiki, i.e., Free and Open Source Software widespread in, e.g., Ubuntu and Debian.
User interface and documentation 
Wiki help pages and scientific publications.
Tools for data analysis 
External scripts. The Brede Toolbox may be helpful, but a direct operation is not implemented as of March 2009.
Budget and maintenance 
System is running on a computer at DTU Informatics administered by Finn Årup Nielsen. Protection against vandalism may require some effort. Hopefully, readers of the wiki will turn into editors.
Legal and ethical issues 
Copyrighted and copylefted share-alike licenses. Privacy issues for researcher bibliographies. No raw imaging data.
Comparison and federation 
Extensive links to other databases where possible, XML and SQL export, MediaWiki API.
Impact and significance 
None yet (as of March 2009), since the wiki was started in January 2009.

[edit] API

The standard MediaWiki API is available for the Brede Wiki. As an example to get the frist 25 papers listed in the Papers category:

http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category:Papers&cmlimit=25

As JSON:

http://neuro.imm.dtu.dk/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category:Papers&cmlimit=100&format=jsonfm&cmprop=title
