BioMedIT Working Groups

Working Groups are tasked with developing and maintaining specific aspects of the BioMedIT Project. Members are made up of experts from across the BioMedIT Network.

BioMedIT interoperability working group (BIWG)

All technical interoperability in BioMedIT is driven by the BioMedIT interoperability working group (BIWG).

The BIWG is composed of employees of the BioMedIT nodes and chaired by a Lead Developer, who is affiliated with the PHI group. Work streams of the BIWG Roadmap are secure data transfers and the development of sett, the BioMedIT portal, federated interoperable workflow execution, and the integration maintenance for central services with the BioMedIT portal and sett upgrades.
