The goal of the OpenMPIData initiative is to provide MPI measurement data to those interested in MPI research. Initially, the project included only the first few datasets, covering the most interesting cases for getting started with MPI. More recently, we have started to make the measurement data from our most recent publications available to the public. We are proud that the OpenMPIData has already been noticed by several research groups, e.g. to develop and evaluate new reconstruction algorithms.

We invite those with MPI hardware to share their data, and those interested in MPI research to contribute by using this data in their research. The project is hosted on GitHub and a detailed description is available here. To contribute, simply open an issue on the project's GitHub page.

All data are stored in the MPI Data Format (MDF), which provides a common data format for the storing of MPI raw, calibration, and reconstruction data, and are made available under a Creative Commons license CC-BY-4.0.
