caDSR requirements arise in many settings. By using one of the means described below you will ensure your ideas have been successfully communicated and documented. Software requests for enhancements are acknowledged by the caDSR team with the creation of an item in our tracking database and assigned a reference number, making it easy to track your favorite request! If it doesn't have a GForge tracker number, we haven't yet realized it as a requirement.
Where requirements come from:
Personal communications: If you have a specific idea or suggestion you want to discuss personally with Denise Warzel (Program Manager for caDSR software) feel free to contact her directly.
NCI is planning to modernize the aging caDSR semantic metadata infrastructure to make it more useful, more accessible, easier to integrate into research and care processes and systems, and better support community comment, curation and harmonization of content and data. While the requirements process has been ongoing, documenting what we have been hearing began last fall, and we are already collaborating and aligning with sister NIH ICs, national, and international metadata initiatives. We recently decided it would be very useful to seek broad community input via an RFI. Please see child pages for links to this document and the requirements draft which will be updated as it evolves.
