Summary of requirement pre-interview, by Reviewer:

The forum posting summarizes a number of use cases that pertain to Metadata Modelers and Cancer Researchers discussed during a caBGI face-to-face meeting at Cambridge.  They can be summarized as follows:

• Automation
  • Streamline the process of model creation, submission, and curation, including the tracking of artifacts (this is similar to Init1pm8 - Simplify and streamline recording data semantics, Init1pm6 - Automate Loading process, and Init1pm7 - Automate & Streamline caDSR Model Submission Process)
• Enhanced Semantics
  • Model/mechanism to drive through the questions on a form or during a task without manually curating CDE (need more clarity)
  • Change choices on subsequent question answers based on answer to another question. More complex form of skip pattern or conditional behavior - event driven vs. skip pattern - NHS.
• Enhanced Tooling Features
  • Import electronic doc/forms to caDSR.
  • Improve searching for "best" CDE version (artificial intelligence - not trivial).
