Vocabularies & Common Data Elements (VCDE) Workspace
This Cross Cutting Workspace is responsible for evaluating and integrating systems for vocabulary and ontology content development, as well as software systems for content delivery. They are also responsible for developing standards for the representation of ontologies and vocabularies used throughout the caBIG™ system, as well as assessments of existing systems proposed for use within the caBIG™. This Workspace also has some limited responsibility for vocabulary and ontology content development, when specific and required content does not exist in a form usable by caBIG™. As a Cross Cutting Workspace, it is expected that they will interact with many of the other Workspaces as part of their activities.
