The Imaging-PHD project is building a scalable cyberinfrastructure framework to capture, store, and disseminate persistent and machine-actionable metadata describing microscopy hardware configurations at the time of data acquisition This project is a proof of concept of clear, standardized records of the equipment used in research. These records, known as Persistent Hardware Descriptors (PHDs), are stored permanently and can be directly linked to scientific data and publications.
