1 |
Hello, my name is NAME. I am calling you today because NCI and caBIG are working toward a new and improved version of the semantic infrastructure to better support integration scenarios. |
Yes |
2 |
Do you have any solution integration needs? If so, what are they? Have you envisioned new ways of interacting with existing or new parts of the semantic infrastructure? |
We need browsers that interact with and search Knowledge and Model Repositories and support:
|
3 |
Are there any business changes you are assuming we will be able to deal with? |
No. |
4 |
Are there any capabilities you are expecting to be available to support your needs? |
Knowledge/model repository and browser (or browsers) to support easy discovery/visulization and reuse of metadata/model components. |
5 |
Do you use any of the existing software/services? If so, what do you like or dislike about it? |
CDE Browser, UML Model Browser |
6 |
If this requirement in met, what would be the benefits? If you do not have it, what would be the negative impact? |
Modelers/developers will be able to used browsers for modeling purposes; improving their models and reuse existing metadata. |
7 |
If, for any reason, we were not able to create that solution, do you think there might be another way to solve this issue? Can you think of an alternative solution? |
One alternative solution other then those involve more manual work for developers/modelers, will be facilitating direct interaction of modeling tools with model or knowledge repository, allowing all metadata to be pulled to modeling tool and allowing developer/modeler to handle comparison/filtering/elimination of model components at the modeling tool level. One downside is the number of modeling tools and challenges around the selection of which one to support. |
8 |
Would you agree that we can summarize your requirement like this? |
Provide functionality to download of selected or all CDEs in an XML format compliant with ISO 11179 schema. In a federated metadata repository structure this will involve communicating multiple instances of repositories. |

13 |
Can you or someone else give me a step-by-step description of how you would describe the expected performance/behavior of the software in order for you to feel that your requirement is met? |
When I search for metadata, I should be able to find the correct model components in the first page of the returned results (good ranking)
