https://github.com/common-workflow-language/cwltool

Reference implementation of the Common Workflow Language standards. It provides complete features and tools and comprehensive validation of CWL. The reference implementation consists of two packages. The cwltool package is the primary Python module containing the reference implementation in the cwltool module and console executable by the same name. The cwlref-runner package is optional and provides an additional entry point under the alias cwl-runner, which is the implementation-agnostic name for the default CWL interpreter installed on a host.

http://www.nihtoolbox.org/

An integrated set of tools for measuring cognitive, emotional, motor and sensory function. These tools are being validated for use in diverse cultures, ethnic and geographic groups, ages (3-85 years) and study types. The toolbox is expected to provide a more complete picture of neurological and behavioral health in large-scale longitudinal studies, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials; and to facilitate cross-study comparisons. Moreover, the toolbox will: * be minimally burdensome to subjects and investigators, * utilize state-of-the art psychometric approaches and technology, including computer-assisted evaluation, and * be dynamic and adaptable to changes in measurement and technology. * be available in English and Spanish Many clinical studies collect data on aspects of neurological and behavioral function. However, the neurological and behavioral tests currently available to researchers lack uniformity and often require specialized training to administer. These limitations make it difficult to compile data across the full range of normal neurological function, and to compare data across studies. The toolbox is royalty-free and is expected to be available online by summer 2012.

http://www.rightfield.org.uk/

An open-source tool for adding ontology term selection to Excel spreadsheets. It is used by a "Template Creator" to create semantically aware Excel spreadsheet templates. The Excel templates are then reused by Scientists to collect and annotate their data; without any need to understand, or even be aware of, RightField or the ontologies used. For each annotation field, RightField can specify a range of allowed terms from a chosen ontology (subclasses, individuals or combinations). The resulting spreadsheet presents these terms to the users as a simple drop-down list. This reduces the adoption barrier for using community ontologies as the annotation is made by the scientist that generated the data rather than a third party, and the annotation is collected at the time of data collection. RightField is a standalone Java application which uses Apache-POI for interacting with Microsoft documents. It enables users to import Excel spreadsheets, or generate new ones from scratch. Ontologies can either be imported from their local file systems, or from the BioPortal ontology repository. Individual cells, or whole columns or rows can be marked with the required ranges of ontology terms and an individual spreadsheet can be annotated with terms from multiple ontologies.

http://cerad.mc.duke.edu/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 4, 2023.Consortium that developed brief, standardized and reliable procedures for the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias of the elderly. These procedures included data forms, flipbooks, guidebooks, brochures, instruction manuals and demonstration tapes, which are now available for purchase. The CERAD assessment material can be used for research purposes as well as for patient care. CERAD has developed several basic standardized instruments, each consisting of brief forms designed to gather data on normal persons as well as on cognitively impaired or behaviorally disturbed individuals. Such data permit the identification of dementia based on clinical, neuropsychological, behavioral or neuropathological criteria. Staff at participating CERAD sites were trained and certified to administer the assessment instruments and to evaluate the subjects enrolled in the study. Cases and controls were evaluated at entry and annually thereafter including (when possible) autopsy examination of the brain to track the natural progression of AD and to obtain neuropathological confirmation of the clinical diagnosis. The CERAD database has become a major resource for research in Alzheimer's disease. It contains longitudinal data for periods as long as seven years on the natural progression of the disorder as well as information on clinical and neuropsychological changes and neuropathological manifestations., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
