Together with the molecular knowledge of genes and proteins, biological images promise to significantly enhance the scientific understanding of complex cellular systems and to advance predictive and personalized therapeutic products for human health. For this potential to be realized, quality-assured bioimage data must be shared among labs at a global scale to be compared, pooled, and reanalyzed, thus unleashing untold potential beyond the original purpose for which the data was generated. There are two broad sets of requirements to enable bioimage data sharing in the life sciences. One set of requirements is articulated in the companion White Paper entitled "Enabling Global Image Data Sharing in the Life Sciences," which is published in parallel and addresses the need to build the cyberinfrastructure for sharing bioimage data (arXiv:2401.13023 [q-bio.OT], https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2401.13023). Here, we detail a broad set of requirements, which involves collecting, managing, presenting, and propagating contextual information essential to assess the quality, understand the content, interpret the scientific implications, and reuse bioimage data in the context of the experimental details. We start by providing an overview of the main lessons learned to date through international community activities, which have recently made generating community standard practices for imaging Quality Control (QC) and metadata (Faklaris et al., 2022; Hammer et al., 2021; Huisman et al., 2021; Microscopy Australia, 2016; Montero Llopis et al., 2021; Rigano et al., 2021; Sarkans et al., 2021). We then provide a clear set of recommendations for amplifying this work. The driving goal is to address remaining challenges and democratize access to common practices and tools for a spectrum of biomedical researchers, regardless of their expertise, access to resources, and geographical location.
