Given the technical challenges inherent in such a system, technical solutions are being developed. One of the most fundamental to the success of the integrated query system Integrated Query System is an Application Program Interface (API) that provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) API to TCIA metadata and image collections. This API is built using a middleware platform called Bindaas that is also used to build forms the backend infrastructure of caMicroscope. Bindaas is open source and extensible, so can be expanded to include more data types and additional integration. This API is being designed to support federation of multiple information repositories using the concepts of a data mashups. Because this infrastructure is open source and extensible, it can be expanded to include more data types and additional integration, as well as Data mashups have become popular in recent years for visualizing and analyzing data from distinct databases, as will comprise the Integrated Query System. The data mashups will provide analytic and decision support, which will act as a foundation for a broader set of novel community research projects.
