          <p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Everyone,   <br>
            <br>
            We would like to invite all of you to review a report
            generated as a result of the NIH BD2K workshop &quot;Frameworks
            for Community-based Standards Efforts&quot;, held last year.<br>
            <br>
            The workshop aimed at gaining a clearer understanding of the
            community-based data and metadata standards efforts, in
            particular, and how NIH might best relate to them. In this
            report the authors, who are the lead organizers and
            co-chairs, elaborate on the findings and indicate future
            directions.<br>
            <br>
            In conjunction with related efforts already under way at
            NIH, including the development of a Data Discovery Index
            Consortium (bioCADDIE: <a href="http://biocaddie.org" target="_blank">http://biocaddie.org</a>), the
            final document will assist the NIH Office of the Associate
            Director (ADDS) to help move forward the NIH BD2K vision on
            how data, metadata and other digital research products can
            interact and work with each other.<br>
            <br>
            We invite all users, software developers and publishers to
            review our report. Please, post <b>comments by January 20,
              2015</b>. <br>
