The NCI Center for Bioinformatics
The NCI Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB)
provides biomedical informatics support and integration capabilities to the cancer research
community. We work with both intramural and extramural groups to develop
Initiative-Specific Modules. These modules are connected
through intelligent interfaces, coordinated through an NCI Core Module and deployed through
open source tools and systems.
The NCICB also serves as a focal point for cancer research informatics planning worldwide.
We work with research organizations, biomedical informatics groups and standards bodies to
facilitate the identification and adoption of information exchange standards, thus connecting
research information sources wherever they may reside.

caCORE is the infrastructure backbone supporting data management and
application development at NCICB. caCORE includes vocabulary services (EVS),
metadata management (caDSR), and biomedical data "objects"
(caBIO) implemented
in a robust
enterprise software architecture. The
caCORE Technical Guide provides detailed documentation of
the architecture and APIs. All NCICB-developed caCORE components are
distributed under open-source licenses that support unrestricted usage by both non-profit and
commercial entities.
