| https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/mark-musen The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval <http://metadatacenter.org> (CEDAR) is developing information technologies to make the authoring of complete and comprehensive metadata much more manageable, and to facilitate the use of metadata in the analysis of Big Data sets. The Center is working with several major community-based groups to develop and test its ideas. These groups include (1) the BioSharing initiative <http://www.biosharing.org>, led by Oxford University, who draw on a wide range of international contributors to register and make discoverable metadata standards for diverse types of biomedical experiments (see also their response to this RFI), (2) ImmPort <https://immport.niaid.nih.gov/immportWeb/home/home.do?loginType=full>, NIAID's data warehouse of immunology-related datasets, led by investigators at Stanford at Northrup Grumman Corporation, (3) the Human Immunology Project Consortium <http://www.immuneprofiling.org/hipc/page/show> Standards Working Group centered at Yale University, which designs new metadata templates and channels experimental datasets to the ImmPort repository, and (4) the Stanford Digital Repository <http://library.stanford.edu/research/stanford-digital-repository>, operated by Stanford University Libraries, which helps all Stanford investigators to archive and disseminate data of all kinds—including data from many projects funded by the NSF. Each of these groups is clamoring for better metadata and for better metadata-authoring tools, as CEDAR plans to develop. Link: http://metadatacenter.org |
