Infrastructure
Attention Application Developers: Turn your talents into tomorrow's technologies!
Explore the future of NCICB applications and infrastructure with our new Open Development Initiative (ODI). Click for more…
The NCICB Core Infrastructure provides the building blocks and tools needed to develop interoperable information management systems. caCORE is a central element of this Infrastructure.

A number of tools and services are provided by the caCORE suite of technologies, which include resources for vocabulary and metadata management, metadata hosting, and model-driven software engineering. In addition, with its collaborators in the caBIG™ program  Opens in New Window: caBIG™, the NCICB Infrastructure is developing, caGrid  Opens in New Window: caGrid, a data and analytical service grid built from the latest federated computing technologies and semantic technologies.

Information about caGrid and other related projects can be found by visiting the links in the Contents section. Please visit the caCORE page for a high-level view of all that the NCICB infrastructure has to offer.
