NIXIO Python library documentation
==================================

The NIXIO module is the native python re-implementation of the `NIX C++ library <https://nixio.readthedocs.io>`_ for the NIX data model.

The *NIX* data model allows to store fully annotated scientific
datasets, i.e. the data together with its metadata within the same
container. Our aim is to achieve standardization by providing a
common/generic data structure for a multitude of data types. See the
`wiki <https://github.com/G-Node/nix/wiki>`__ or the
`introduction <getting_started.html>`__ for more information.

The current implementations store the actual data using the
`HDF5 <http://www.hdfgroup.org/>`__ file format as a storage backend.

*NIX* emerged from the activities of the Electrophysiology Task Force of
the `INCF <http://www.incf.org>`__ Datasharing Program (2010-2015). It
is a registered research resource with the
`RRID:SCR_016196 <https://scicrunch.org/resources/Any/record/nlx_144509-1/SCR_016196/resolver?q=SCR_016196&l=SCR_016196>`__.

Introduction
============

We have assembled `introductory material <getting_started.html>`__
that illustrates using nix. The tutorials contain several code
examples. `The use_cases <https://nixio.readthedocs.io/en/master/use_cases.html>`__ explain in more detail how
nix is used in real world situations.

Support
=======
If you need help, want to get in touch, or have any other request
`these <contact.html>`__ are your options.

Citing
======

If you use *NIX*, it would be much appreciated if you would cite it in
publications with its identifier RRID:SCR_016196 and/or the reference:
