THE LEIPZIG HEALTH ATLAS
The „Leipzig Health Atlas“ (LHA) provides a multifunctional and quality-assured data atlas to a broad user community. It draws on extensive data, methods and experience from clinical and epidemiological studies, systems medicine research networks, bioinformatics method projects and ontological research projects of Leipzig partners. The main tasks are 1. the semantic data integration and the construction of the ontologies and analysis services, 2. the provision and validation of the source projects and 3. the integration in a data sharing platform for research and retrieval of the results.
