Hi Jim, Can you clarify what you mean by the "GPC lab metadata"? Are you referring to the CMH: LOINC hierarchy on Babel that we decided upon during Hackathon II? We are working on a project now to normalize our units, as coded LOINC is a poor predictor of the actual units used in the lab setting for those tests. We haven't developed a script to build metadataxml; rather we have a reference table with 27,864 LOINC codes and their associated metadataxml per the LOINC standard units in the multiaxial hierarchy. We do a lookup on that table to pull the metadata in to our client lab ontologies, but as you can probably surmise by now we ran in to a lot of issues initially with mismatched units that made the metadataxml basically useless unless the units matched exactly. That is what precipitated the unit normalization project. There are several upstream data source issues that depend on other teams and need to take place before that project can be completed, so we are targeting the creation of tha t curated LOINC ontology with standard units by the end of April.

Wow, I did not understand that from Hackathon2 and we would love to get a copy of your java code to supplement our metadata browsing tools. Did you develop a java-based computation of metadataxml from the LOINC release record? We have considered that but have not had time. I thought we might be providing an enhancement to your metadata build but I agree entirely that it seems irrelevant. Jim James R.
