The medical field has accumulated rich scientific data since long ago in our country, but most of them limit to their own department use, even personal use, not yet sharing for all the society. That’s the reason why data resources utilization rate is rather low. Now the sharing net construction provides a platform for realizing medical data sharing. While to achieve effective integration and widespread sharing across different field or department, the standard should be followed above all to describe the sharing data sets.

  The data set description standard requires each data-set-producing department knows the conceptcontent, component and structure of the sharing data sets clearly, based on analyzing the need of sharing service, then describes them following the standard.
