CLEF is a 3 year project funded by the MRC (Medical Research Council), commencing October 2002.

Click here for the official web site of the CLEF project.
CLEF aims to create a scalable, generic architecture for capture and management of clinical and other descriptive data, integrated with genomic data and images and linked to literature and web resources.
The outcomes of the project will be:
  • Shared repositories integrating clinical, image and genomic information, linked to medical records, literature and the Web.
  • Information capture and language tools for clinical and scientific descriptions to populate the repositories and records
  • Information integration tools to bring together information from isolated studies and disparate medical records in the repositories and to facilitate constructing future studies and records to integrate smoothly into the repositories.
  • Information display tools to make the information easily accessible, including where appropriate to patients and public.
  • Knowledge management environments - the Clinical eScience Workbench - to use the repositories to enhance biomedical research, based on generic architectures, and contributing to the relevant clinical and technical standards.
