- GHGA is a research consortium developing a national infrastructure
- to enable the FAIR sharing of genetic and other human omics data.
-
-
- This is embedded into European activities such as the federated
- European Genome-Phenome Archive (fEGA) and the European Genomic
- Data Infrastructure (GDI).

- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- What are the functions of the GHGA Data Portal?
-
-
- The GHGA Data Portal allows users to browse, search, and filter
- omics datasets submitted to the GHGA. It uses the GHGA Metadata
- Model and conforms with the
-
- EGA Metadata Model
-
-
-
- What data can be found on GHGA Data Portal?
-
-
- Please visit the GHGA Data Portal
-
- browse page
-
- and find your data of interest either by a keyword search
- or by using the selectors on the left side. Currently, we are
- only displaying datasets from partner institutions.
-
-
- How to upload your data to the GHGA Data Portal?
-
-
- During this initial phase of operation, GHGA is only accepting
- metadata from partner institutions.
-
-
How to get data access?
-
- The GHGA Data Portal allows users to request access to data
- through the portal. We are listing non-personal metadata and
- acting as a gateway to data submitters who will serve the
- research data upon approval of the request. Identify your
- dataset of interest using the browse and filter functions of the
- GHGA Data Portal. Click on the "Request access" button. This
- will direct you to a data access request form. Complete the form
- with the necessary information and submit it to request access
- to the dataset. The data access committee will review your
- request and respond accordingly. Please note that GHGA is not
- involved in the further process of negotiating the data access.

The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of computational systems to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention) because humans increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data as a result of the increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed of data.",

The name Mondo comes from the latin word \u2018mundus\u2019 and means \u2018for the world.\u2019\n\nNumerous sources for disease definitions and data models currently exist, which include HPO, OMIM, SNOMED CT, ICD, PhenoDB, MedDRA, MedGen, ORDO, DO, GARD, etc; however, these sources partially overlap and sometimes conflict, making it difficult to know definitively how they relate to each other. This has resulted in a proliferation of mappings between disease entries in different resources; however mappings are problematic: collectively, they are expensive to create and maintain. Most importantly, the mappings lack completeness, accuracy, and precision; as a result, mapping calls are often inconsistent between resources. The UMLS provides intermediate concepts through which other resources can be mapped, but these mappings suffer from the same challenges: they are not guaranteed to be one-to-one, especially in areas with evolving disease concepts such as rare disease.\n\nIn order to address the lack of a unified disease terminology that provides precise equivalences between disease concepts, we created Mondo, which provides a logic-based structure for unifying multiple disease resources.\n\nMondo\u2019s development is coordinated with the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), which describes the individual phenotypic features that constitute a disease. Like the HPO, Mondo provides a hierarchical structure which can be used for classification or \u201crolling up\u201d diseases to higher level groupings. It provides mappings to other disease resources, but in contrast to other mappings between ontologies, we precisely annotate each mapping using strict semantics, so that we know when two disease names or identifiers are equivalent or one-to-one, in contrast to simply being closely related.",

The DUO standard has already been used to annotate over 200,000 datasets throughout the world.

The DUO standard contains human-readable explanations and terms, generated by the corresponding data access committees (DAC). The DUO standard is structured with 25 terms that reflect two types of data use: permission and modifier terms. Permission terms contain, for instance: general research use (GRU), health or medical or biomedical (HMB) disease-specific (DS), and population origins or ancestry (POA), which are all clearly approved applications or specialized fields of study.

It provides standardized access to data independent from the architecture or technology stack of the storage repository. It essentially acts as a data catalog that lists access metadata in a standardized way. Another GA4GH standard being used by GHGA is the encryption file format Crypt4GH. It acts as a container around existing file formats, encrypting files with a symmetric stream cipher to allow for random access of the encrypted data. The symmetric key is encrypted separately via asynchronous encryption. Ideally, this means that neither the secret nor the data itself will be stored on a disk in a decrypted state throughout the file life cycle. Crypt4GH thus provides a solution to both encryptions at rest as well as transfer encryption. It is meant as a file format for bioinformatics research, but in theory can be used for any kind of file format, and some bioinformatic toolsets, like SAMtools, already provide support for Crypt4GH.",
