Summary of requirement pre-interview,

by

Reviewer:

The

US

Health

Information

Knowledgebase

(USHIK)

is

the

Agency

for

Healthcare

Research

and

Quality's

(AHRQ)

metadata

registry

of

the

data

elements

and

their

characteristics

from

the

standards

that

the

HHS

Secretary

has

endorsed,

adopted,

and

recognized.

This

includes

data

elements

from

HIPAA

transaction

standards,

Consolidated

Health

Informatics

domains

standards,

and

HITSP

interoperability

specifications.

Since

NCI

and

caBIG

will

be

required

to

comply

with

the

standards

described

in

USHIK,

our

new

semantic

infrastructure

must

be

capable

of

easily

consuming

information

from

the

USHIK

resource

as

static

semantic

content.

 
USHIK is an ISO 11179 compliant metadata repository.  The URL for the site is: http://ushik.ahrq.gov

.  These requirements primarily will effect all consumers of the semantic metadata, including Information Technologists, Cancer Researchers, and Metadata Specialists.
