EDITH standards implementation guide (IG)

This document provides a guideline for using and implementing standards, terminologies, and metadata guidelines when setting up, executing, and archiving virtual human twins. 

It is created within the European Coordination and Support Action (CSA) of the EDITH (Ecosystem Digital Twins in Healthcare) project. The aim of this implementation guide is two-fold: First it gives hints to the modelers, which steps they should follow in the model building process and which standards, terminologies, and guidelines (depending on their modelling domain) they should use in defining their biomedical and healthcare models. Second it is intended as a practical guide for implementers giving hints, which standards, terminologies, and guidelines should be supported in the long-term by the simulation environment consisting of the repository, the simulation platform, and the workflow execution engines. Initially it suffices if they support all formats and annotations used by the demonstrator use cases.

To get an overview and access information on the standards, terminologies, and metadata guidelines referenced in this document, there also is an EDITH FairSharing collection available: https://fairsharing.org/4787
