Some of these need to be duplicated in BIDS `.tsv` and `.json` sidecar files. Even though the duplication requires additional effort to ensure the consistency of the data, it provides a number of advantages: -- Making the dataset easier for humans to scan as essential information is easily accessible without loading the data files -- The dataset follows the BIDS standard and can benefit from tools building on top of this standard (e.g., the validator) -- It simplifies the separation of data and basic metadata, e.g. for the purpose of publishing the dataset in a light-weight fashion with access to the data files on request (e.g. using Datalad). +- Making the dataset easier for humans to scan as essential information is easily accessible without loading the data files +- The dataset follows the BIDS standard and can benefit from tools building on top of this standard, starting with [bids-validator](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator). +- It simplifies the separation of data and basic metadata, for example to publish a dataset in a light-weight fashion with access to the data files on request (as implemented by [DataLad](https://datalad.org)). ##
