The aim of the CardioVascular Research Grid (CVRG) project is to create an infrastructure for sharing cardiovascular data and data analysis tools. The CVRG will support national and international multi-institutional collaborations in cardiovascular science, and will build on and extend tools developed in the caBIG and BIRN projects. The CVRG project is supported by the National Heart Lung & Blood Institute. The project is based at the Institute for Computational Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the Center for Comprehensive Informatics at Emory University.

Updated ECG Ontology Now Available

May 7, 2009

The CVRG has released an updated version of the ECG Ontology developed as part of the NCBO Driving Biomedical Project. The updated ontology can be found in the NCBO Bioportal. Users are encouraged to review and comment on the ECG Ontology using the notes feature of Bioportal.

 

CVRG Community Projects

Technology:

BIRN:

The CVRG is working with the Biomedical Informatics Research Network on aspects of medicine that overlap between cardiovascular research and neuroscience. These areas include computational anatomy, electrophysiological ontology development, and DICOM image data management.

caBIG/caGrid:

The CVRG is working with the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid on aspects of technology that deal with systems biology and clinical research data sharing and integration.

caGrid XML Data Service:

The caGrid XML Data Service Framework is an extension of caGrid for querying and retrieving XML documents managed in XML databases. XML Data Service provides extension to Introduce for flexible and rapid creation of caGrid Data Services from existing XML schemas. It is a caGrid Community Project.
