caBIG® Semantic Infrastructure - Objectives

Major Goal

The major goal of the NCI CBIIT Semantics and Operations Group is to enable semantic interoperability in a virtual network or cloud of interconnected organizations, which in turn redefines how research is conducted, care is provided, and how patients and participants interact with the biomedical research and care enterprise. The research community is primarily focused on the development of new knowledge and treatments, while the health care community is focused on clinical care and outcomes; both objectives can be advanced by leveraging the semantic infrastructure investment in CBIIT and caBIG® tools and frameworks.
