• Develop implementation independent architecture model(s) which define the semantics backbone components and behavior
  • Architect semantics backbone to support and unite:
    • Domains using different architectural types (e.g. compositional vs derivative)
    • Domains with different business imperatives (regulatory compliance vs. rapid evolution)
  • Design/deploy backbone to:
    • Reduce overhead associated with creation and maintenance of semantics information
    • Provide semantic integration across .NET, Semantic Web as well as CORBA-based Grids
• Participate in the development of national and international semantic interoperability standards to protect caBIG®'s investments in semantic framework, and to meet evolving requirements of caBIG® and the broader biomedical and health community.
• Deploy within caBIG® reference implementations of the semantics backbone components to:
  • Demonstrate their practicality
  • Increase the semantic coherence within caBIG®
• Follow caBIG® dictates for all software development:
  • Allow users to decide on their choice of open or COTS technology platform
  • Maintain an open-source environment
  • Follow rigorous engineering methodology, including automated build/deployment and continuous integration
• Develop, adopt, utilize and promote best practices and methodologies for modeling developing, operating and distributing metadata, terminologies, ontologies and other data semantics artifacts.
• Create and distribute open, free semantic content that supports strong shared semantics and is directly useful to builders and users of health IT systems and biomedical researchers.
