abstract: The cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, or caBIG, is a voluntary network or grid connecting individuals and institutions to enable the sharing of data and tools, creating a World Wide Web of cancer research (https://cabig.nci.nih.gov). The goal is to speed the delivery of innovative approaches for the prevention and treatment of cancer. The approach is to leverage existing technologies for the standardization of data representation and semantics coupled with common data integration architecture. 

As part of this effort, NCICB has developed and deployed a prototype grid caGrid 0.5 (https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/workspaces/Architecture/caGrid/) that enables the building of an open, multi-institutional data sharing, annotation, 
and analysis environment. 

The session will briefly describe the program, current development plans and the architecture decisisions taken by the team.
