Implementing Standards for Data Curation and Management

Data & Standards

H3ABioNet provides guidelines on the use of clinical data, data management and data standardization, and provides support for REDCap as a data collection tool. We work with the H3Africa consortium to harmonize phenotypes and to map clinical and experimental data to existing ontologies in an effort to make the H3Africa and H3ABioNet outputs FAIR.

Data Management

Genomic data are increasing in size and complexity, and data privacy and security are criticial for human data. Therefore it is important to ensure data are managed in an organized, secure and ethical manner. H3ABioNet provides guidance to its members on data management and governance. Read more
Data Standardisation
Our data standardisation efforts aim to harmonize data derived from different H3Africa projects and map them to ontologies, where applicable. This is to enable data retrieval and comparison and to make the data FAIR. Read more
FAIR

In order to increase the value of H3Africa and H3ABioNet resources it is important to make them FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). Read more.
REDCap

H3ABioNet provides guidance and support for clinical research data collection through recommending the implementation of REDCap and offering links to resources and training support. Read more.
