A modular semantic infrastructure layout for the management of hypermodel-pertinent metadata in the context of In Silico oncology

Abstract

Over the previous years, semantic metadata have largely contributed to the management, exchange and querying of health-related data, including mathematical and computational disease simulation model descriptions, implementations and output results. In this paper, we present a proposal for an abstract semantic metadata infrastructure layout, indicating its modularity, and thus its capability to operate with different combinations of software tools. Its potential contribution for the purposes of the CHIC project is also reported.
