Feature | caIntegrator | caB2B |
---|---|---|
Functionality |
|
|
Searches | Searches within a study, with a secure query tool to search and combine data from caArray and NBIA from caGrid data service. | An open-source, secure query tool capable of searching for any data on the caGrid, and combining data from across caGrid data services |
Data Compatibility |
| Any data registered in caDSR and exposed on the caGrid can be retrieved. |
Grid | Data can be either on or off the grid. (For example, caArray and NCIA data must be on the grid; clinical data is not on grid). | Any data registered in caDSR and exposed on the caGrid can be retrieved |
Data Type Matching of Ids |
| Data can be joined within or across models by using either a common identifier, or by using a consistent data element |
People who are using tool |
|
|
Analysis | Has explicit data analysis components within the application. | caB2B is not an analysis tool per se. Users can export data from caB2B in a number of different formats (xls, csv, pdf) to perform additional analysis |

|| Feature || caIntegrator || caB2B ||
| Functionality | # Repository for clinic studies: Create and update studies with data of various types in a predefined flat format
# Data warehouse to provide correlation data: Integrate clinical data with genomic and/or imaging data
# Various analysis tools: Add-on KM Plot, Gene Expression Plot and GenePattern Analysis | # Administrative Tool allows administrators to configure caB2B by:
#* Loading application data models from caDSR
#* Creating useful categories, or aggregations, of data
#* Joining together categories and/or application data models
# Client Application allows users and administrators to use a Query Wizard to create and execute queries based on the configurations defined in the Admin tool.
# Web Application: Allows users to search and retrieve microarray data, imaging data, specimen data & nanoparticle data based upon a predefined set of queries defined in the Client Application |
| Searches | Searches within a study, with a secure query tool to search and combine data from caArray and NBIA from caGrid data service. | An open-source, secure query tool capable of searching for any data on the caGrid, and combining data from across caGrid data services |
| Data Compatibility | # Microarray data, imaging data from caBIG®
# Customized data not in caBIG®
# Simple data format, can upload in data in spreadsheet (.CSV format). | Any data registered in caDSR and exposed on the caGrid can be retrieved. |
| Grid | Data can be either on or off the grid. (For example, caArray and NCIA data must be on the grid; clinical data is not on grid). | Any data registered in caDSR and exposed on the caGrid can be retrieved |
| Data Type Matching of Ids | # There are explicit correlations between the data and the ID.
# Study Managers direct the data types to correct files that show matching between samples.
# The user points the system to files which identify which array is associated with which person. | Data can be joined within or across models by using either a common identifier, or by using a consistent data element |
| People who are using tool | * Study Manager understands the data and sets up the tool.
* User can analyze the data without the knowledge of how data are mapped. | * Bioinformaticians create categories and new queries
* Researchers can execute those queries without needing to understand how the data is stored |
| Analysis | Has explicit data analysis components within the application. | caB2B is not an analysis tool per se. Users can export data from caB2B in a number of different formats (xls, csv, pdf) to perform additional analysis |
