Overview of the data acquisition and publication process. First, histological slides and clinical records of brain tumour patients were retrieved from the biobank of the Division of Neuropathology and Neurochemistry, Medical University of Vienna. Then, slides were digitized using a Hamamatsu slidescanner. Clinical data were translated into standardized annotations. At least two experienced neuropathologists checked each slide scan to ensure conformity of the diagnosis with the current revised 4th edition of the “WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System” and sufficient scan quality. Ambiguous cases were excluded and WSIs of inferior quality were re-scanned. Finally, data were made available via EBRAINS to the international research community.
