Abstract

Experiments on the dielectric properties of biological tissues generate data that characterizes the interaction of human tissues with electromagnetic fields. This data is vital for designing electromagnetic-based therapeutic and diagnostic technologies, and for assessing the safety of wireless devices. Despite the importance of the data, poor reporting and lack of metadata impede its reuse and forgo interoperability. Recently, the minimum information model for reporting Dielectric Measurements of Biological Tissues (MINDER) has been developed as a common framework. In this work, we have developed a metadata model and implemented a data sharing framework to improve findability and reproducibility of experimental data inspired by FAIR principles. We define a process for sharing the reported data and present tools to support rich metadata generation based on existing community standards. The developed system is evaluated against competency questions collected from data consumers, and thereby proven to help to interpret and compare data across studies.
