Cohort Representation
Aims to create a standard or set of guidelines to computationally describe a cohort and query it across a network
Cohorts are groups of people who share certain criteria or characteristics for a period of time. By being able to clearly define, describe, and search for cohorts, researchers can aggregate more data for their studies. However, the lack of standard, interoperable ways to describe observable traits, or phenotypes, and to define search terms, makes analysing different cohorts challenging. To address this, the GA4GH Cohort Representation study group is exploring the development of a computable cohort representation standard.
This project is currently paused. If you are interested in getting involved or leading it, contact Amreen Mohamed.

Dive deeper into this Product!A cohort represents a collection of subjects that satisfy a defined criteria represented by a phenotype. The Cohort Representation study group aims to create a computable cohort representation standard to computationally describe a cohort and execute that definition as a query across a cohort network.
