EVS and the caDSR database and tools are the current basis of the semantic foundation for interoperable data and analytical services at NCI. caDSR is based on the ISO 11179 Part 3 metadata standard.

Developers use caCORE components to create "caCORE-like" systems. By definition these systems have object-oriented information models registered in caDSR whose meaning is linked to EVS vocabularies, and have open, public APIs and web services to provide access to the data. The caBIO data service is an example of a caCORE-like system developed using caCORE components.

Using caCORE tools, developers adapt and build applications that are caBIG® compatible, that is, interoperable with other caBIG® tools.

caCore tools include the following:* caDSR APIs Download

• CDE Browser; DTDs
• Form Builder
• CDE Curation Tool
• caDSR Administration Tool
• UML Model Browser
• Semantic Integration Workbench
• caDSR Sentinel Tool
• NCIThesaurus
• NCIMetathesaurus Additionally the caCore includes the caCore workbench.

The caCORE Workbench is a tool with a graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate the creation of a caBIG® silver or gold compliant system. The caCORE Workbench acts as a process guide and an integrated platform, enabling the user to more readily create a Data or Analytical service on the Grid. The following caBIG® process workflows are supported:

• Creation of a UML Model (ArgoUML, Enterprise Architect)
• Semantic integration (SIW, CDE Browser, UML Model Browser, Curation Tool)
• Model mapping (caAdapter)
• Application creation and deployment (SDK)
• Creation of a grid service (Introduce)
