Case Studies/Tuberculosis Commons
We agree.
The Clinical Open Innovation Team believes that open models can accelerate knowledge turns resulting in a faster drug development process. We are responding to this challenge, starting with the TB Commons initiative.
This initiative seeks to build a commons. The word “commons” in the digital space means what it does in physical space: It is a shared, public place for collecting and sharing resources for a community. This can include open data, shared expertise, software, and discourse.
The goal of the TB Commons initiative is to seed and grow an open clinical intelligence network. Our mental model for this focuses on four core community activities:
Collect. Gather and convert available public clinical data to standard web-enabled formats Consume. Personalize views of data for exploration and understanding Curate. Generate new insights by linking, annotating, and organizing data in new ways Connect. Inspire community members to create networks of people and knowledge
TB Commons is an open innovation in progress. You can become part of the process of reinventing invention. Build a collection, explore what you've built, and engage with others.
