Scope
This standard establishes accurate and secure communication of bioinformatics protocols in order to facilitate bioinformatics workflow related exchange and communication between regulatory agencies@ pharmaceutical companies@ bioinformatics platform providers and researchers. Accurate communication helps ensure responsibility@ verify bioinformatics protocol@ track provenance information and promote interoperability. Purpose The standards allows for the cross platform communications of complex computation from inception to manufacturing of medical products and services@ resulting in decreased costs of drug discovery and review@ and accelerated delivery of treatment to patients.
