A lot of their focus is around simplifying, standardizing, integrating and automating.
CountrySTAT, as a one stop centre, centralizes, harmonizes, standardizes, integrates and validates data on food and agriculture coming from different sources.
Key technology enablers include: Longitudinal Electronic Health Records An individual's personal health information must be standardized and integrated into an electronic health record that lasts a lifetime.
Counseling messages on HIV discordance should be standardized and integrated into VCT programs.
In this layer, a motion sensing and sequencer module was developed, which will bind multiple motion sensor input, standardize and integrate with ROS layer.
Additionally this core will advance the field of metabolomics through (a) standardizing and integrating existing analytical processes; (b) adopting and developing emerging metabolomics technologies; (c) developing a national repository for metabolomics data together with the database core.
Key constructs - The operationalization of Six Sigma project management constructs: Identification (Recognize and Define); Characterization (Measure and Analyze); Optimization (Improve and Control); Institutionalization (Standardize and Integrate), presents an opportune area for future research.
For example, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) has taken steps to standardize and integrate sequence information with classical morphology data [ 1].
For standardizing and integrating functional descriptions across databases, the Gene Ontology (GO) was created and has become a de facto standard (9), growing from <5000 terms to >34 000 in 2012.
However, there is limited or no effort to standardize and integrate array- specific (e.g. SNP IDs, allele coding) and species-specific (i.e. past and current assemblies) SNP information.
