Table 3 Metadata management approaches of the AI4HI projects

From: Position of the AI for Health Imaging (AI4HI) network on metadata models for imaging biobanks

Project

Metadata collection

Metadata types

Models used

Unique characteristics

PRIMAGE

Structured e-forms

Imaging, clinical, image radiomic analysis

DICOM for imaging metadata

MIABIS for biological samples and tissue

OMOP-CDM for clinical

Integration of the DICOM and MIABIS standards, and metadata model that captures the biomechanical/signalling behaviour of tumours

EuCanImage

Structured e-forms

Imaging, clinical

DICOM-MIABIS for imaging data

Extension of ICGC-ARGO for clinical variables

Link between imaging and non-imaging data

INCISIVE

Structured e-forms

Clinical, biological, imaging

Multiple terminologies for clinical data (e.g., SNOMED-CT, ICD10, ATC classification)

FHIR for communication

Data Integration Quality Check Tool employed to identify whether data follow the harmonisation requirements defined

CHAIMELEON

Structured e-forms

Imaging, clinical

DICOM for imaging metadata

MIABIS for biological samples and tissue

OMOP-CDM for clinical

A multimodal analytical data engine will facilitate interpretation, extraction, data harmonisation, and exploitation of the stored information. The CHAIMELEON repository will ensure the usability and performance of the repository as a tool fostering AI experimentation

ProCancer-I

Data upload tool (e-forms)

Imaging, clinical

DICOM-Radiation therapy for imaging data

OMOP-CDM for clinical data

Provides an extension to OMOP-CDM going beyond radiology/oncology extensions and introduces another model (AI passport) for modeling analysis workflows and AI development
