The AIM project was conceived and developed by imaging workspace subject matter experts at NCI's cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG®). It is currently being supported by NCIP. AIM model 1.0 to 2.0 passed the caBIG® silver compatibility model process. All models underwent a curation process using Semantic Integration Workbench (SIW) to ensure that all new and existing classes and attributes in AIM models conform to and are interoperable with the Common Data Elements (CDEs) standard. All reviewed AIM models that the Enterprise Vocabulary Services (EVS) team approved are uploaded to the cancer Data Standards Registry and Repository (caDSR). The NCIP imaging community maintains AIM official models on NCI caDSR. Some of the earlier AIM models had been retired from CDEs because newer AIM models maintain compatibility to the prior AIM models. The active AIM models can be viewed from CDE browser and UML model browser, figure 1 and figure 2, respectively.

In the following sections, leaders of the imaging program at NCIP and its representatives along with the principle investigator of the AIM project describe the participants, policies, and procedures of the AIM project.

...

  • The AIM principle investigator under supervision from NCI imaging leaderships maintains the AIM model.
  • A requestor for any AIM improvements must create an account with NCI JIRA, https://tracker.nci.nih.gov/secure/Dashboard.jspa, and participate in the imaging community activities. See Figure 3, which follows.
