An important aspect of this informatics effort is the development of consistent practices for data standards development, using a multi-tier approach that facilitates semantic interoperability of systems. The semantic tiers include (1) information models, (2) common data elements, and (3) controlled terminologies and ontologies. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) cancer protocols and checklists are an important reporting standard in pathology, for which no complete electronic data standard is currently available.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In this manuscript, we provide a case study of Cancer Common Ontologic Representation Environment (caCORE) data standard implementation of the CAP cancer protocols and checklists model \u2013 an existing and complex paper based standard.

In addition, we describe four ongoing development projects that will use the emerging CAP data standards to achieve integration of tissue banking and laboratory information systems.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The CAP cancer checklists can be used as the basis for an electronic data standard in pathology using the caBIG\u2122 semantic modeling methodology.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6947-6-25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,20]],"date-time":"2006-06-20T18:32:28Z","timestamp":1150828348000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["The CAP cancer protocols \u2013 a case study of caCORE based data standards implementation to integrate with the Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Tobias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ram","family":"Chilukuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"George A","family":"Komatsoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sambit","family":"Mohanty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Sioutos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Denise B","family":"Warzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lawrence W","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rebecca S","family":"Crowley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5723","key":"114_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"821","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1112120","volume":"308","author":"K Buetow","year":"2005","unstructured":"Buetow K: Cyberinfrastructure: empowering a \"third way\" in biomedical research.
