Value Set Metamodel and Definitions #10

Open mbrush opened 4 years ago

mbrush commented 4 years ago

Value Sets are named collections of codes that are bound to specific attributes. They are an important part of the information model that helps standardize data collection for improved clarity, queryability, and interoperability. We will want to define a handful of these and recommend their use.

For this, we need a meta-model for describing their content. FHIR has an expansive one - we may want to base ours on some subset of this? See FHIR model here, and the VSD project here, based on the Value Set Definition Project here.

SEPIO also has a simple SKOS-based value set model, informed by the curation efforts of the ClinGen consortium - see here.

Do you have specific attributes or classes in mind? Many other disciplines call these "controlled vocabularies". I am optimistic we can find something we can reuse.
