Standards & Interoperability (S&I) Methods

teaches skills, knowledge and theories for knowledge representation and for semantic interoperability among various data within and across multiple scales. Students must demonstrate competency in

  • representing a variety of data for computation and analytics,

  • implementing biomedical (and other) data standards, terminologies, and ontologies for achieving S&I in various settings,

  • developing biomedical information systems that require S&I (e.g., data integration),

  • exchanging biomedical data in a semantically consistent manner (e.g., Health Information Exchange), and

  • developing novel methods for semantic and metadata discovery and mapping using advanced computing/Big Data approaches.
