I am a Web Developer Librarian at UT Southwestern Medical Center in
Dallas. I am considering proposing a project to develop a portal for
campus researchers to share lab notes, pre-print papers, and datasets,
among other things. I have been scanning the Web and literature to find
a good data model or DTD for describing biomedical research and have not
yet found one.
The DDI is the closest I've been able to find, but I am not sure of
its viability to describe the kind of research being conducted here. For
instance, I imagine there will be a need to include the species of
subjects (i.e. humans, drosophila, mouse, etc.), as well as some
extension for microbiological information (i.e. use of microarrays,
types of proteins, etc.).
Is anybody aware of an application of DDI to biological or biomedical
research?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
