Abstract

Biospecimen-based research is rapidly growing in thepost genomic era, and includes the need to retrieve specimens from
distributed biobanks of various size and complexity in a fashion that
ethically preserves the expressed wishes of specimen donors as
represented by the informed consent process and its artifacts. This
paper briefly describes existing work along these lines, presents some challenges unique to biobanks, and presents our own work on an ontology of informed consent.
