Data Standards

HIPC Data Standards:
A collaboration with various centers of the Human Immune Profiling Consortium (HIPC) to build upon the existing infrastructure of ImmPort, a publicly-available data repository, which includes standardization of defined data elements such as immune exposures, including vaccinations, infectious diseases or environmental exposures, as well as the representation of common experimental data types such as transcriptomic data.
