Topic: *The Lexical Grid Project: LexGrid*
*Abstract*: (by Christopher Chute)
LexGrid, the Lexical Grid, is a common data model for
vocabularies and ontologies with a suite of associated
services. These services, divided into runtime and
browsing classes, include standard methods for
accessing content, attributes, child concepts by
subsumption, and semantic relationships. LexGrid has
been adopted as part of NCI's caBIG under the moniker
of LexBIG to function as the core middleware for
terminology access within caBIG, by CDC as LexPHIN to
replace terminology services within the Public Health
Information Network, and as the core content manager
within the National Center for Biomedical Ontology as
part of the corresponding NIH Roadmap center of
excellence at Stanford.
*About the Speaker*:
*Dr. Christopher Chute* received his undergraduate and
medical training at Brown University, internal medicine
residency at Dartmouth, and doctoral training in
Epidemiology at Harvard. He is Board Certified in
Internal Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College
of Physicians, the American College of Epidemiology,
and the American College of Medical Informatics. He
became Head of the Section of Medical Information
Resources at Mayo Foundation in 1988 and is now
Professor and Chair of Biomedical Informatics. As a
career scientist at Mayo, Dr. Chute's NIH and
AHCPR/AHRQ funded research in medical concept
representation, clinical information retrieval, and
patient data repositories have been widely published.
He is a Board member of the ANSI Health Information
Standards Technology Panel, Convener of Healthcare
Concept Representation WG3 within the ISO Health
Informatics Technical Committee, chair-elect of the US
delegation to ISO TC215 for Health Informatics,
co-chair of the HL7 Vocabulary Committee, Chair of the
Biomedical Computing and Health Informatics study
section at NIH, and has served on or chaired multiple
other NIH biomedical informatics study sections. He has
chaired the International Medical Informatics
Association WG6 on Medical Concept Representation since
1994 and was twice elected Vice-Chair of the ANSI
