However, their valuable diversity also created heterogeneity, which poses challenges to optimally exploit their richness.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods: In this opinion review, we analyse catalogues for human subject research ranging from cohort studies to surveillance, administrative and healthcare records.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results: We observe that while these catalogues are heterogeneous, have various scopes, and use different terminologies, still the underlying concepts seem potentially harmonizable. We propose a unified framework to enable catalogue data sharing, with catalogues of multi-center cohorts nested as a special case in catalogues of real-world data sources. Moreover, we list recommendations to create an integrated community of metadata catalogues and an open catalogue ecosystem to sustain these efforts and maximise impact.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusions: We propose to embrace the autonomy of motivated catalogue teams and invest in their collaboration via minimal standardisation efforts such as clear data licensing, persistent identifiers for linking same records between catalogues, minimal metadata \u2018common data elements\u2019 using shared ontologies, symmetric architectures for data sharing (push\/pull) with clear provenance tracks to process updates and acknowledge original contributors. And most importantly, we encourage the creation of environments for collaboration and resource sharing between catalogue developers, building on international networks such as OpenAIRE and research data alliance, as well as domain specific ESFRIs such as BBMRI and ELIXIR.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1742522","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,4]],"date-time":"2022-12-04T23:33:53Z","timestamp":1670196833000},"page":"262-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Towards an Interoperable Ecosystem of Research Cohort and Real-world Data Catalogues Enabling Multi-center Studies"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Morris","family":"Swertz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"van Enckevort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DETI\/IEETA, University of Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"Fortier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Canada"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Bergeron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Canada"}]},{"given":"Nicolas H.","family":"Thurin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ.
