BRIDG LS DAM Integration Activities in 2013

The scope of the BRIDG model has now changed to encompass the larger translational research domain. It is no longer limited to just represent the clinical research domain. To support this larger scope of BRIDG, NCI recommended integrating the Life Sciences domain Analysis Model (LS DAM) with BRIDG. From a scientific perspective, unifying the models will more readily support use cases spanning the clinical and life sciences domains. Use cases spanning these domains are rapidly increasing, due to the tremendous advances being made in our ability to elucidate the genetic basis of disease. The goals of precision medicine require linking clinical and molecular semantics. The BRIDG Semantic Coordination Committee (SCC), the modeling team of BRIDG, is working closely with the LS DAM analyst and two of the ten subject matter experts of LS DAM from July - September, 2013 to perform the semantic integration of the two models (BRIDG and LS DAM).

Integration Status (as of March 27, 2015)

The LS DAM 2.2.3 Plus model semantics have been integrated with the BRIDG model and published as part of BRIDG release 4.0.
