Life Sciences Domain Analysis Model
caBIG® Life Sciences Domain Analysis Model (LS DAM) v2.1 has been released. The LS DAM is a shared view of the semantics for Life Sciences, which includes hypothesis driven basic and pre-clinical research as well as discovery sciences. It is aligned, where appropriate, with the Clinical Sciences BRIDG model, which covers protocol driven clinical research. The LS DAM is a foundational component for achieving semantic interoperability among the various applications across caBIG® and is bound to the ISO 21090 data type standard.
The major changes in this release are described in the Release Summary and include:
- Creation of a Life Sciences Scope Statement
- Update to the Molecular Biology core component to promote consistent use of the model when dealing with physical entities and/or information about those entities
- Expansion of Experiment Core(formerly called the Generic Assay model) to include ExperimentalParameters
- Addition of the BRIDG aligned Performer role based class which was identified as a gap through analysis of Pathology Imaging Use Cases
- Representation for biologic models by inclusion of classes for CellCulture, CellLine, MicrobiologicCulture, subSpeciesRank identified through analysis of Pathology Imaging Use Cases
- Support for material compositions by addition of MaterialRelationship class (and removal of caNanoLab derived specializations of Material that can now be handled more elegantly)
- Further development of the Container concept
- Addition of attributes to the Software class
- Common Biorepository Model mappings are documented and added as tags in the UML model
For a complete list of modifications and additions to the LS DAM v 2.1, please see the Release Notes and Model Documentation.
For those interested in viewing the LS DAM v2.1 model
- An Enterprise Architect file may be downloaded LS DAM v 2.1 EA file
- A web based view of the model is also available using Internet Explorer LS DAM v2.1 HTML
For more information on the LS DAM see the LS DAM Wiki page.
