The following sections provide a detailed description of the requirements categories, where possible the requirements are tied to specific use-cases described in the previous section.
Artifact Management
Artifacts include support for different formats of models, both static and dynamic. Artifact management also includes the ability to manage content and clinical forms. A service specification is made up of service metadata, artifacts and the metadata supporting these artifacts. Artifact management primarily deals with managing artifacts lifecycle and authoring of artifact metadata.
...
Clinical Trials: Clinical Trials use forms to capture clinical information, and the semantics captured by these forms are critical for interoperability and reporting. The semantic infrastructure must provide a mechanism to manage the lifecycle of these forms.
Service Discovery and Governance
Service discovery and governance allows service developers to specify rich metadata about services. This enables better discovery, and governance of services. Service discovery and governance help:
...
caGRID 2.0 Platform: The caGRID 2.0 Platform provides a runtime registry for service discovery. This service registry relies on a small subset of information for discovery. The semantic infrastructure provides a mechanism to leverage rich service and artifact metadata to extend this capability.
Forms Definition & Modeling
Case Report Forms are the primarily channel for capturing information in the healthcare and clinical domain. Forms also play a key role in information exchange and are critical to supporting interoperability in healthcare.
...
Data Semantic are captured in the semantic infrastructure ,and the platform will leverage the semantic infrastructure interfaces for reasoning and analysis
Link to use case satisfied from caGRID 2.0 roadmap: The oncologist accesses the TCGA database to search for de-identified glioblastoma tumor data that is similar to the patient data exported from the hospital medical record. During this search, the semantics of the data fields are leveraged to indicate matches between TCGA data fields and the hospital medical record data fields.
...
There are numerous data repositories on the web today. These data repositories contain essential information that must be accessible to services in the ecosystem. As a result, caGrid 2.0 must provide capabilities to integrate these external repositories into the Grid with the assumption that the remote service cannot be changed.
The semantic infrastructure will support integration with other metadata repositories, allowing the platform to leverage the semantic infrastructure for federated metadata discovery and analysis. The federated data query capabilities will be implemented by the platform.
Link to use case satisfied from caGRID 2.0 roadmap: The oncologist searches both TCGA glioblastoma data as well as de-identified data that has been added by care providers around the country. The additional data sets are external data repositories.
