What can I not use this extension for?

The list of valid use cases for this extension is much shorter than the list of invalid use cases. You for example will not be able to open a bottle of your favourite beverage with it (sorry). But here is a list of invalid use cases that may be most relevant to know about:

  • You can not use this extension as a replacement for an XNAT instance. It requires access to one, and tracks the data available on this instance.

  • You should not use this extension to share data that you retrieved from an XNAT server publicly. While DataLad datasets are ideal for sharing large amounts of data publicly, the data from an XNAT server is usually not to be shared publicly - for example due to, but not limited to, privacy concerns. Please think twice before you attempt to do this.
