• MGRID about to finalize their RIMBAA toolkit (native

• Research project (“Lifelines”), capture data for 30
years, 3 generations, 165000 persons.
– Store data as-is, transform to RIM (for querying) when
needed. Risky strategy: avoid having to define a mapping
until data is needed.

message specifications
• String-of-Pearls project
