 # About BIDS
 
-Neuroimaging experiments result in complicated data that can be arranged in many different ways.
-So far there is no consensus how to organize and share data obtained in neuroimaging experiments.
-Even two researchers working in the same lab can opt to arrange their data in a different way.
+Neuroimaging experiments result in complex data that can be arranged in many different ways.
+For a long time, there was no consensus how to organize and share data obtained in neuroimaging experiments.
+Even two researchers working in the same lab could opt to arrange their data in a different way.
 Lack of consensus (or a standard) leads to misunderstandings and time wasted on rearranging data or rewriting scripts expecting certain structure.
 With the Brain  Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), we describe a simple and easy to adopt way of organizing neuroimaging and behavioral data.

 Since the inception of the BIDS specification that documents how to organize neuroimaging data, a large ecosystem of tools and resources has evolved around BIDS.
 
-A few of the key elements of this ecosystem are the [BIDS-validator](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator){:target="_blank"}, to automatically check datasets for adherence to the specification, [OpenNeuro](https://openneuro.org/){:target="_blank"}, as a database for BIDS formatted datasets, and [BIDS-Apps](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005209){:target="_blank"}, a collection of portable neuroimaging pipelines that understand BIDS datasets.

-With the ongoing development of new tools and resources it is important to keep in mind that the BIDS specification remains the standard according to which the entire ecosystem must adhere.
