Description

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) Program (https://datacommons.cancer.gov/) is developing data standards for submitting data to the CRDC ecosystem. As part of this effort, the CRDC Data Standards Service (DSS) Team is identifying industry standards that can be leveraged for this harmonization and standardization effort. For the data element ‘Specimen Anatomic Site’, we will be referencing UBERON. The DSS team is requesting 49 terms, to be included in UBERON, that are needed by one or more CRDC repositories. We could not find these terms in UBERON. For the 49 terms we have provided the equivalent NCI Thesaurus terms and the concept codes. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached UBERON Term Suggestion Submission.xlsx and comparing its 49 requested terms with the current UBERON ontology. Done means determining how the supplied NCI equivalents map to UBERON and recording the requested terms in the project’s ontology submission workflow.
