Logical models and physical specifications provide the foundation for storage, management and analysis of complex sets of data, and describe the relationships between measured data elements and metadata - the contextual descriptors that define the primary data. Here, we use imaging applications to illustrate the purpose of the various implementations of data specifications and the requirement for open, standardized, data formats to facilitate the sharing of critical digital data and metadata.
逻辑模型和物理规范为复杂数据集的存储、管理和分析提供了基础，并描述了测量数据元素与元数据（定义主要数据的上下文描述符）之间的关系。在此，我们使用成像应用来说明数据规范各种实现方式的目的，以及对开放、标准化数据格式的要求，以促进关键数字数据和元数据的共享。
