Metadata Open Forum 2008ISO/IEC/IEC 11179: Metadata Registries A Tutorial from the National Cancer Institute Dianne M. Reeves, RN, MSN National Cancer Institute CBIIT Tommie G. Curtis, MS Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)
Metadata Open Forum 2008 -Goals • Explain the role of ISO/IESC 11179 in capturing structured metadata • Discuss the added value of binding vocabulary/terminology, to ISO/IEC administered items • Estimate the level of effort needed to collect and maintain metadata • Assess and justify metadata registration needs for an organization
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –Activities • Review and discuss the ISO/IEC 11179 standard • Examine a registry implementation of ISO/IEC 11179 • Map source metadata to registry content • Utilize semantics to bind to metadata • Assess the value and role of an ISO/IEC 11179 registry in an organization
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registries What is the Standard? • Six-part standard defining various aspects of metadata development and metadata registry management • Common way of representing metadata • A “Grammar” for describing data • Descriptive (pattern for creating meaning) • Prescriptive (pre-existing rules for the pattern)

Data Element: A unit of data for which the definition, identification, representation, and permissible values are specified by means of a set of attributes. Data Element Concept: An idea that can be represented in the form of a data element, described independently of any particular representation. Conceptual Domain: A set of valid Value Meanings. Representation Class: A classification of data elements based upon the type of representational form. Value Domain: A set of attributes describing representational characteristics of instance data with or without enumerated permissible values. Value Meaning: A member of the set of finite allowed inventory of notions that can be categorized for a conceptual domain. Permissible Value: An expression of a Value Meaning expressed in a Value Domain.

Data Element Concept: An idea that can be represented in the form of a data element, described independently of any particular representation. - The suggested pattern for creating the meaning of a DEC is further described using Object Class and Property Object Class: The part of the DEC ‘pattern’ pertaining to the thing in the real world. A person, a gene, a vehicle. Property: The part of the DEC ‘pattern’ pertaining to an observable or recordable characteristic of the thing in the real world. These characteristics, or attributes, are those things that help to differentiate instances of one thing of the same type or kind, from another. For example characteristics of a person that differentiate one person from another: Hair color, Eye color, Height, Weight, BSA Metadata Open Forum 2008 –Terms and Definitions for ISO/IEC 11179 Data Element Concept Property Object Class Qualifiers Qualifiers

Metadata Open Forum 2008 –NCI CBIIT Extensions • Mandatory Object Class and Property • NCI Compliance ensures that the parts of the semantics are clearly, unambiguously identified • Simplifies development of programs and interfaces that can reliably detect similar or different content (uses the ‘grammar’ to interpret metadata) • Value Meanings as Administered Items • Alternate names and definitions • Reference documents • Origins • Forms and parts of forms as administered items • Unique identifier • Versioning • Simplify creating and sharing Data Elements • Promote reuse of standards
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –NCI CBIIT Extensions • Concepts as Administered Items • Provides links to external vocabularies and code systems • Minimal concept information extracted from external vocabulary systems to populate the Administered Item Record to simplify reuse of NCI standardized concepts • Preferred name, definition, concept identifier, source vocabulary identification • Concepts bound to Controlled Vocabulary • Binding registry semantics to immutable external vocabulary concepts • Provides access to extensive synonymy and semantics represented in ontologies, taxonomies and code systems where the concepts are more fully described • Extended use of Concepts: Property, Representation, Value Meanings, Value Domains, Conceptual Domain, etc. • Enhances programmatic interpretation of semantics • (*ISO/IEC 11179 Ed. 2 specifies concepts as optionally associated with Object Class)
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –NCI CBIIT Extensions • Applied business rules to make the addition of semantics mandatory for Object Class, Property, Representation, Qualifiers, and Value Meanings • Include Preferred Question Text Next steps: • Forms as administered items • CSI as administered items
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –NCI CBIIT Business Rules for Metadata Development and Maintenance • Metadata Development • Naming and Definitions • Semantic Assignment • Completeness Criteria • Ownership and Usage • Status Assignment • Metadata Maintenance • Updating/Modifying • Versioning • Status assignment
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –NCI CBIIT Best Practices • Describe common processes • Improve quality and encourage reuse • Facilitate training and understanding • Documented in FAQs and documents • Encourage use of data standards
Metadata Open Forum 2008 –Enterprise Vocabulary Services - Thesaurus • Controlled vocabulary resources for caCORE and the cancer research community • Vocabulary Products and Services • NCI Thesaurus • NCI Metathesaurus • External vocabularies • NCI Thesaurus - controlled vocabulary source for metadata • Has excellent coverage of cancer terminology • Expands based on needs for additional terminology • Based on concepts rather than terms • Each concept has a unique identifier or CUI with definitions and synonym
