LHDL

LHDL: The Living Human Digital Library (2006 - 2009)

The Living Human Digital Library

The Living Human Project (LHP) aims to create an in silico model of the human musculoskeletal apparatus for predicting how mechanical forces are exchanged internally and externally at any dimensional scale from the whole body down to the protein level.

This model is designed as an infrastructure that can be updated and extended whenever new data and algorithms become available. It also accounted for the inter-subject variability observed in the population.

As part of LHP, the Living Human Digital Library (LHDL) project developed this infrastructure. Around a community building and collaborative working server, were created:

  • an application framework for the management, fusion and exchange of biomedical digital data;
  • a service framework for the development, the sharing and the choreography of software services such as interactive extraction of isosurfaces, automatic image segmentation, automatic mesh generation, signal filtering, FE solvers, etc.;
  • a knowledge management framework to allow the user to develop Internet-based services in which all the data and algorithmic resources of the repository are organised in agreement with a dynamically defined ontology;
  • services for advanced resource discovery and retrieval, web services choreography, and maintenance of the metadata and of the ontology.
