NCIBI – National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics
From the website:
The National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI) is one of seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) within the NIH Roadmap. The NCBC program is focused on building a universal computing infrastructure designed to speed progress in biomedical research. NCIBI was founded in September 2005 and is based at the University of Michigan as part of the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB).
Note the use of integrative in the name of the center.
They “get” that part.
They are in fact working on mappings to support integration of data even as I write these lines.
There is a lot to be learned about their strategies for integration and to better understand the integration issues they face in this domain. This site is a good starting place to do both.
