NIH has issued a Request for Information (RFI): Making Data Usable--A Framework
for Community-Based Data and Metadata Standards Efforts for NIH-relevant
Research
The mission of the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative is to enable
biomedical scientists to capitalize more fully on the Big Data being generated
by those research communities. BD2K aims to develop new approaches, standards,
methods, tools, software, and competencies that will enhance the use of
biomedical Big Data by supporting research, implementation, and training in
data science and other relevant fields. In addressing this goal, an important
aspect is to make biomedical research data and resources maximally shareable
and reusable. For this reason, BD2K is formulating approaches to encourage
development and facilitate the use of data-related (including metadata)
standards more broadly across the biomedical research community and is,
therefore, interested in the issues involved in developing community-based
standards. This RFI solicits comments and ideas related to how community
standards activities are initiated, developed, disseminated, and sustained and
any role that NIH might play in helping to catalyze such efforts.
The deadline for responses it December 5, 2014. Additional information and
submitting comments for this RFI are available at
