<CNM comment>
To date, this section of the caGrid 2.0 Roadmap document simply identifies the follow-on subsections. Perhaps both documents could include a bit more narrative text. Let's discuss.
</CNM comment>

This section includes the following:

...

Goals and Objectives for the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 Roadmap

...

"Relationship of caGRID 2.0 to V2 SI" discussion that currently exists in the latter RM document. Thoughts?>
</CNM: comment>The purpose of this document is to define the basic requirements for the next generation – that is, Version 2.0 – of caBIG®-CBIIT Semantic Infrastructure.

...

In the style of the caGrid Roadmap, the following are the "big buckets" of capabilities which collectively define the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0:

<DAVE and RAGHU: PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR WORKING LIST FROM THE WORK YOU TWO AND CECIL HAVE DONE IN THE PAST MONTHS. SEE THE caGRID 2.0 DOCUMENT FOR EXAMPLES REGARDING APPROPRIATE GRANULARITY OF THIS SECTION. IN PARTICULAR, I THINK THAT THE "discover" CAPABILITY IDENTIFIED IN THE caGRID 2.0 DOCUMENT SHOULD REFERENCE A BIT MORE DETAILED AND GRANULAR ITEMIZATION OF CAPABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT CONCEPT IN THIS LIST. THE SAME CAN PROBABLY BE SAID FOR THE composability CAPABILITY SINCE THAT PLAYS INTO CHOREOGRAPHY, ORCHESTRATION, AND RUN-TIME BEHAVIORAL META-DATA PROCESSING. I THINK THE SECTION ON "leveled interoperability" MIGHT ALSO MOVE INTO THIS DOCUMENT. THOUGHTS?>

<leveled interoperability> - WE MIGHT DRAW SOMETHING FROM WES RISHEL'S PPT WHICH I SENT YOU>
Leveled interoperability, that is, support for interoperability at various levels of "sophistication," (as examples, human-to-human interoperability versus computable semantic interoperability; interoperability between "less-informational" and "highly-informational" systems), that is, elimination of the "all-or-none" barrier to interoperability.
</leveled interoperability>

<CNM: taken directly from caGRID RM document. Modified as needed.>
In summary, the overarching philosophy behind the content of the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 Roadmap is that the technologies and approaches described are a direct result of the need to support the requirements of the scientists, clinicians, trialists, patients, and other stakeholders that comprise the caBIG® stakeholder community. Thus the following two sections of this roadmap provide a working profile of the stakeholders and the working set of associated use cases and storyboards that are collectively being used to define the overarching, enterprise-level requirements for the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 technologies and tools.

Semantically-Aware Service-Oriented Architecture (sSOA)

...

Both the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 and caGrid 2.0 will be developed and deployed within the context of an overarching approach to enterprise architecture which uses the distributed computing design paradigm commonly referred to as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). In addition, because of the fundamental importance of semantics in any architecture approach in the context of the life sciences and healthcare (in the broadest sense of those terms), the SOA being developed by NCI CBIIT as manifested in the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 and caGRID 2.0, is referred to as a "semantically-aware SOA" (sSOA). It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss in detail the various benefits and goals, core organizing motivations, or fundamental design principles of SOA. However, the following bullet points summarize each of these topics. Interested readers can refer to a number of references including two texts by Thomas Erl: "Principles of Service Design" and "SOA Design Patterns."

Relationship of the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 to caGrid 2.0.

<CNM I'm not sure we need this section in the SI 2.0 RM document – and maybe we don't need it in the other RM either <<if>> we include this content in the Goals and Objectives section as I tried to do above. Thoughts?>

<PST DOCUMENT TEXT AS OF AUGUST 16>
In parallel and fundamentally coordinated with the P/S/T project is a project to define the Roadmap for version 2 of the caBIG® semantic infrastructure, that is, the "next generation" of the current caDSR and EVS semantic infrastructure. The ultimate goal of the two efforts is to produce two complementary but integrated Roadmaps that will enable caGrid 2.0 to provide expanded semantic processing capabilities (when required) including but not limited to run-time service discovery and resolution of semantic queries. Details of the Semantic Infrastructure 2.0 Roadmap will, as is the case for the caGrid 2.0 Roadmap, be publicly available and open for community input. </PST DOCUMENT TEXT AS OF AUGUST 16>
