Abstract: (by ChristopherChute)
LexGrid, the Lexical Grid, is a common data model for vocabularies and ontologies with a suite of associated services. These services, divided into runtime and browsing classes, include standard methods for accessing content, attributes, child concepts by subsumption, and semantic relationships. LexGrid has been adopted as part of NCI's caBIG under the moniker of [[LexBIG]] to function as the core middleware for terminology access within caBIG, by CDC as [[LexPHIN]] to replace terminology services within the Public Health Information Network, and as the core content manager within the National Center for Biomedical Ontology as part of the corresponding NIH Roadmap center of excellence at Stanford.
