BD2K: Data Catalog Request For Information Published – Due June 25
The NIH BD2K initiative is considering the development of a biomedical Data Catalog to make biomedical research data findable and citable, as PubMed does for scientific publications.

In addition to supplying core, minimal metadata to ensure a valid data reference, it is envisioned that a Data Catalog would include li...
