ZAPP Governance Documents

These documents establish the governance framework for the Zebrafish Toxicology Phenotype Atlas Project (ZAPP) and all repositories within the zappfish GitHub organization.

ZAPP is a project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS 1R24ES036130). ZAPP's mission is to build a community-driven zebrafish toxicophenotype Atlas supported by standardized data models, ontologies, and annotation tools.

  • Data Governance — Data policies including FAIR principles, acceptance, review, provenance, and access

Versioning

These Governance Documents are reviewed annually in March, or as needed. Each revision is versioned through GitHub PRs to ensure transparency and traceability over time.
