Expanded ontology tool as a basis for a national metadata catalog

Purpose and goal:

With the long-term goal of developing health data infrastructure, the financing by Vinnova has enabled us to extensively develop HMdev, a tool for designing and implementing metadata. The new version of HMdev has been tested by defining lab-data in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry and on early discovery of diabetes type 1 with Diabetes Stockholm. This shows large potential for HMdev and the Origo methodology, but an infrastructure needs to be developed for health data.

Expected results and effects: 1. HMdev has been converted into a multi-user tool, which enables collaborative modelling and deployment as a service.

2. Identification of the development roadmap and potential solutions, including but not limited to: identity and consent management, rules-based governance and data security.

3. Continuous testing of the modelling capabilities of HMdev in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry, Diabetes Stockholm and researchers from KTH. Approach and implementation: 1. The development of HMdev is according to plan in its concluded parts and continues with the last parts planned.

2. Definition work with the new parts of definitions, primarily lab-data, works well and gives feedback to continuing development. 3. We see an increasing understanding and interest from our collaboration partners, as part of our work together.
