 * Abstract: (by ChristopherChute)


 * LexGrid, the Lexical Grid, is a common data model for vocabularies and ontologies with a suite of associated services. These services, divided into runtime and browsing classes, include standard methods for accessing content, attributes, child concepts by subsumption, and semantic relationships.  LexGrid has been adopted as part of NCIs caBIG under the moniker of LexBIG to function as the core middleware for terminology access within caBIG, by CDC as LexPHIN to replace terminology services within the Public Health Information Network, and as the core content manager within the National Center for Biomedical Ontology as part of the corresponding NIH Roadmap center of excellence at Stanford.

 * this will be virtual session over a phone conference setting, augmented by shared computer screen support
 * 1) The session will start with a brief self-introduction of the attendees (~10 min.)  [We will be skipping this if there are more than 20 participants.]
