Discussion Points:

Nexus Server Configuration

  • Testing on DEV tier - config of security permissions
  • Manual publishing until configured
  • CTS2 - Maven build was the simplest case, so that's the focus.
  • ANT publishing not currently available.  Will need to look at public and private key possibilities.  Sara's team should be able to support. (LexEVS requires ANT build).

Tech Stack Updates

  • DB
    • Currently at 5.5 
    • Tech stack is moving to 5.6 and migration has started. 
    • Preliminary tests show that we can support 5.6.
    • 5.6.33 is the current version.  Yeon can update each tier for EVS team.
    • No plan for 5.7, but MarieDB (in 6 months to year)
    • Need to move to 5.6 as soon as we can.
  • CentOS 7
    • LexEVS is ready to upgrade to CentOS 7
    • CentOS 7 is available.
    • Blade servers would need to be ordered or current blades would need to be re-imaged.
    • May be able to shuffle the upgrade and swap servers so it moves up.  
  • Java 1.8
    • LexEVS is ready with 1.8
    • Waiting on other tooling to support 1.8

Dev Environment

  • Set up secondary Dev instance for Jenkins and application servers.  
  • Need to consider what database connection is needed. 
  • Suggested - set up a VM for this Dev 
  • Can submit tickets to Jacob to get this started.  

Docker and CI Discussion

  • Overview of Mayo usage and configuration.
    • NCI uses Jenkins 2.19
    • Docker differences between what NCI has and Mac version.
    • Would require move from Ubuntu.  
    • Image repository not ready, testing Nexus 3.x for Docker Image Storage.  
  • NCI can support Docker configuration. 
  • Need to negotiate timelines.  

Decision Points:

  • Plan to migrate to 5.6.33 as soon as possible.
  • Plan to migrate to CentOS7 (work with Jacob).
  • Plan configuration of DEV instance (work with Jacob).
  • Plan to further investigate Docker configuration.  (with Kwan)

FHIR and terminology services (CTS2)

  • Harold to provide update on CTS2 and FHIR.
Harold

Attendees: Tin, Jason, Rob, Tracy, Scott, Craig, Cory, Larry, Sherri

Discussion Points:

  • Harold noted that the OMG process stalled by no further participation by Mayo.
  • Remaining issues:
    • SOAP WSDL
    • Miscellaneous issues
  • Additional Features:
    • Columnar Format
    • Cannonical RDF
    • SNOMED CT implementation guide 
  • FHIR and CTS2 are similar in that both are complex but much is not required - only use what you need.
  • Clinical Research and Biomedical informatics groups are taking note of FHIR and beginning participation in FHIR.
  • FHIR Terminology - possible integration of CTS2 services. 
  • Grahm Grieve (HL7 FHIR) is in support of CTS2 services for FHIR.  
  • Current Planning
    • Plan on implementing entity description in native FHIR to demonstrate the differences and begin discussing with the FHIR community.
    • Review FHIR terminology and CTS2 terminology to describe overlap and gaps.  A paper will be written and published.  
  • Other project - CIMI HSP - Determined that CTS2 wasn't a candidate for services.
  • FHIR does offer:
    • Provides extensibility
    • Not to be fully implemented.
  • HL7 and OMG HSSP process was not successful in that the standard wasn't successfully integrated back to HL7.
  • A better model would have been what FHIR is doing within HL7 - collaborative within HL7.  
  • Harold to be at the January HL7 meeting to listen in on the FHIR sessions.
