MEETING: Data Modeling in Gen3 Data Commons

This meeting has ended. Watch the recording on the Gen3 YouTube channel or download the slides.

The Australian BioCommons partners with the Center for Translational Data Science, University of Chicago, USA to deploy Gen3 and custom build several data commons for use by large numbers of Australian researchers working across national consortia. 

The Gen3 platform consists of open-source software services that support the emergence of healthy data ecosystems by enabling the interoperation and creation of cloud-based data resources, including data commons and analysis workspaces. Gen3 aims to accelerate and democratise the process of scientific discovery by making it easy to manage, analyse, harmonise, and share large and complex datasets in the cloud.

The Gen3 Community Event ‘Data Modeling in Gen3 Data Commons’ is coming up on Friday July 7, in an ideal timeslot for early birds. There will be presentations from four data commons operators who will discuss how they have created their data dictionaries and will describe the tools or processes they use for updating and configuring the dictionaries.

Among the presentations, Marion Shadbolt, Australian BioCommons Human Genomics Data Specialist, will discuss how the BioCommons team have applied Gen3 tools to develop a data dictionary for the Australian Cardiovascular Disease Data Commons.

Presentations: 

  • Introduction to Gen3 Data Models (Michael Fitzsimons, Robert Grossman - Center for Translational Data Science, University of Chicago)

  • Australian Cardiovascular Disease Data Commons (Marion Shadbolt - Australian BioCommons)

  • Aotearoa Genomic Data Repository (Eirian Perkins - New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI))

  • MIDRC Data Commons (Chris Meyer - Center for Translational Data Science, University of Chicago)

  • Pediatric Cancer Data Commons (Brian Furner - Data for the Common Good, University of Chicago)

Date/Time: 07 July 2023,  6:30 am  AEST / 6:00 am ACST / 4:30 am AWST
