Abstract
In healthcare, and more specifically cancer treatment, data sharing is essential yet difficult. 1 in 5 people diagnosed with cancer have a rare type of cancer, which means considerable time is needed to collect sufficient data for research. Combining data from multiple centres is therefore vital, unfortunately, linking this data is not straightforward. There are various ways healthcare centres store their data, due to for instance differences in treatment protocols and clinical systems. This means different variables and annotations are used. Consequently before we can solve any medical problems, we first need to solve this data integration challenge.
