The National Cancer Institute Clinical and Translational Imaging Informatics Project (NCI CTIIP) unites sub-projects from the digital pathology, co-clinical/small animal models, and molecular biology several imaging research domains with the goal of creating an a common informatics platform infrastructure and open-source software tools. The specific goal of CTIIP is to generate team plans to apply the concept of a data mashup in a computer interface that applies the concept of data mashups to join allows researchers to access The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) clinical and molecular data, The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) in-vivo imaging data, caMicroscope pathology data, a pilot set of animal model data, and relevant imaging annotation and markup data. Currently, these data repositories and types are burdened by a lack of interoperability due to the inconsistent use of or the lack of data standards. At the conclusion of this project, the resulting informatics infrastructure that each domain can share will provide researchers with analysis tools to directly mine data from multiple high-volume information repositories, creating a foundation for research and decision support systems to better diagnose and treat patients with cancer.
