Research task No. 5

Development of the system specification, installation of databases and servers and provisioning of data replication mechanisms

 

Basic assumptions:

  • Multimodal data storage and making it available
  • User-oriented (physician)

System concept:

  • Database:
    • Multimodal data storage
    • Metadata storage
    • Patient information
    • Examination information
    • Case history
  • User interface:
    • Data recording - database recording process automation
    • Access to data
    • Data processing (analysis) - usage of computational resources

System structure:

  • Assurance of flexible data access and processing
    • Necessity of ensuring data security
    • Usage of high computational capabilities
  • Usage of grid technologies
    • UNICORE 6, Chemomentum Workbench
    • Usage of public key infrastructure (electronic signature)
    • Data distribution capability
    • Integration with computational resources
    • Secure data transmission
    • Flexible user interfaces
