I got the impression last week that you had in mind some way to contact some 
researchers; I'd be happy to hear back from any of them.

But the records aren't very clear on what task you took on. Sigh.

Subject: Re: [gpc-informatics] #67: Demographics ontology and value sets, e.g. 
age

I agreed to contact researchers about the the most useful method for them of 
having age in i2b2. Currently at the UMN, we do not display categories, rather 
researchers search by years.The question seemed to be whether to use age 
categories.  Attached is the LOINC Categorization for age, which was submitted 
as part of the Nursing Management Minimum Data Set and links to the NIH Cancer 
Institute SEER. We spent a considerable time trying to find a standard for 
normalizing age cateogires and this was the most relevant site we could find.

I am glad to contact researchers if you like but need to be sure I am clear on 
the question and find out if there is a listserv for researchers so I can reach 
out to them or should I only talk with those at MN who will be working on the 3 
clinical conditions of ALS, Obesity, & breast cancer?
