Translational Research Metadata Framework (TREMF). The domain model (L4) defines the common elements of a translational research project and the relations between them establishing context for exploring data and cross-study comparisons. Different activities (clinical or assays) within a project generate datasets that are modelled according to generic interoperable meta-model (L3). Dataset content (observational data) is modelled against the common observation model (L2): a vector of related data elements each defined according to the ISO/IEC 11179 data definition model part of the standard model for metadata registries (L1).
