I’m curious what vocabularies others are using for their -omics data? And how that relates to OMOP? Create extensions of the CDM?
I’m a healthcare informatics student trying to figure this all out. So thank you for your help!
Omics data aren’t incorporated here, yet.
Not sure what you mean. What relates to OMOP?
I’m wondering what terminologies people are using right now in their home-grown system for their -omics data. And why one terminology is better than the other options? What terminology/vocabulary will OMOP use for -omics data? Is there an idea? Is there a timeline?
Sorry I wasn’t clear.
Are extensions being created for -omics since it is not yet a part of OMOP? Or is the -omics data just being held until OMOP incorporates the -omics data into the CDM?
Thanks!
The answer is no. There are quite a few people who have asked “Have you done omics (usually genomics)?”, but nobody has stepped up and started the effort. We need a person who would like to do that, and who has data that could be used to check out our ideas.
Do you? 
Who, me? No, I don’t have any data or time or knowledge to start such a project. I’m finishing my MS in healthcare informatics. Currently, I am working on providing terminology harmonization and mapping solutions for an EDW. Knowing genomics is in the future for them, I was hoping to provide some guidance based on the OMOP standardized vocabulary.
Once I figure out my career path, I may be back to jump in and help out.
