caBIGDomainObject

caBIG DomainObjects are data-models of the data exposed by caBIG DataServices.  DomainObjects are registered in the Cancer Data Standards Repository (caDSR) http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov- /NCICB- /infrastructure- /cacore_overview- /cadsr and use terminology from the Enterprise Vocabulary System EVS (http://evs.nci.nih.gov/).

A domain model is an object model that is a representation of a knowledge space.  Classes in the domain model, ‘Domain Objects’ correspond to real ‘things’ in the universe.  Attributes of classes in a domain object need to be characteristics of the ‘thing’ in the real world.  See: http://caarray.nci.nih.gov- /mgedJamboree- /files- /TechnicalSessiononModelingincaBIG.pdf
