caTRIP What is translational research? • Bench-to-Bedside • Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge):Translational medicine is a branch of medical research that attempts to more directly connect basic research to patient care. • Basic research occurs in the lab • Patient care occurs in the clinic • Translational research broadened…Translational medicine can also have a much broader definition, referring to the development and application of new technologies in a patient driven environment - where the emphasis is on early patient testing and evaluation.…facilitate the interaction between basic research clinical medicine, particularly in clinical trials.
caTRIP Initial focus • Our initial focus will be on connecting existing data systems, including basic science data, to enhance patient care • Initial problem scenario: outcomes analysis • Use data from existing patients to inform the treatment of another patient • Leverage clinical, pathology, tissue, and basic science data • Scenario:Patient A enters the clinic. What treatments were applied with success on other patients with similar characteristics (race, sex, symptoms, pathology results, adverse events, biomarkers).
caTRIP Broadened focus: scientific use cases • Find available tumor tissue • What are all the tissue specimens from her2/neu positive patients that have a primary tumor in the breast and are BRCA1 positive? • Find factors of survival • What are all the ER positive patients that have survived breast cancer after radiation treatment? • Find patients for trials • What are all the patients that are triple negative (ER, PR, and HER2/NEU negative)? • Determine the distribution of disease factors over time • Does a change in pathology biomarkers over time contribute to recurrence or death? • Determine correlation of factors pre and post surgery • Does a change in ER or PR status before and after surgery correlate with other factors? • Find pathology reports of interest • Show me all of the pathology reports for Her2/Neu positive patients with a lobular carcinoma.

caBIG Compatibility Interoperability, compatibility, syntactics, and semantics
caBIG compatibility Interoperability defined Courtesy: Charlie Mead ability of a system to access and use the parts or equipment of another system Syntacticinteroperability Semanticinteroperability
caBIG compatibility How does this apply to caBIG? • Connect scientists and practitioners through a shareable and interoperable infrastructure • Develop standard rules and a common language to more easily share information (compatibility guidelines) • Build or adapt tools for collecting, analyzing, integrating, and disseminating information associated with cancer research and care. “The cancer community is united in its mission to eliminate suffering and death due to cancer. It is now connected by caBIG™. “
caBIG compatibility What is compatibility in caBIG? The four areas of the caBIG compatibility guidelines: • Information Models - Individual types of data are rarely collected or presented in isolation. Rather, they are assembled into a contextual environment that includes closely and more distantly associated data and information. These associations and relationships can be presented in the form of an information model. • CDEs - Data that is collected on a given study or trial must be defined and described such that remote users of that data can understand what it means. These metadata descriptions are referred to as data elements. • Vocabularies and Ontologies - Biomedical information includes a substantial body of specialized concepts that are represented by terms. Agreement upon the basic concepts, terms and definitions that are inherent in all biomedical information is essential for achieving semantic interoperability. • Programming and Messaging Interfaces - Computer programs and the people who write them are able to access resources from other programs through programming and messaging interfaces. Each of these interfaces responds to a particular syntax for its communications. Agreement upon standards for these interfaces is necessary to overcome barriers to syntactic interoperability.
caBIG compatibility Levels of compatibility The four levels of the caBIGTM compatibility guidelines: • Legacy - Implies no interoperability with an external system or resource. A system that was designed without awareness of or prior to the availability of these compatibility guidelines, and which does not meet any of the requirements for interoperability. • Bronze - Classifies the minimum requirements that must be met to achieve a basic degree of interoperability. • Silver - A rigorous set of requirements that, when met, significantly reduce the barrier to use of a resource by a remote party who was not involved in the development of that resource. • Gold - Currently being defined by caBIG. Is expected to provide for a formalized grid architecture and data standards that will enable standardized advertising, discovery, and use of all federated caBIG resources.
caBIG compatibility caBIG compatibility guidelines Syntactic Semantic Semantic & Syntactic
caBIG compatibility Syntactic interoperability Gene + name: String + hugoGeneSymbol: String + sequence: String • The solution for syntactic interoperability in caBIG at the silver level of compatibility is for all systems to provide an Object Oriented Application Programmer Interface (API). • Object Oriented Interfaces can be implemented in many programming languages. • This interface can be connected to the caGrid so that the local data repository is globally accessible in a language independent way. • The interface is described by an information model, which acts as the junction between the syntactic components and the semantic components.
caBIG compatibility Programming and messaging interfaces • Types of APIs • Client APIs in a programming language • Messaging APIs via a messaging protocol • Types of systems • Data services provide access to an information model • Query method • Associations are “traversable” • Analytical services provide methods tomanipulate data • Hybrid services provide methods to manipulate information models • Analytical tools consumer of silver compatible data, but don’t produce it

caBIG compatibility Semantic interoperability • The Solution for semantic interoperability lies in object oriented UML design of the service, an unambiguous description of elements within the system and storage of the description in a publicly accessible repository (metadata). • UML model • Use of publicly accessible terminologies/ vocabularies/ontologies (EVS-NCI Thesaurus) • Use of publicly accessible metadata repository (caDSR)
Enterprise Vocabulary Services caBIG compatibility Metadata stored in caDSR • Storage of Metadata • caDSR = cancer Data Standards Repository • Common Data Elements = CDEs • Enable end-users to access information about data and services without having to access human developers • = Fusion of UML models + Concepts/Definitions

Enterprise Vocabulary Services caBIG compatibility Publicly accessible terminologies • Controlled vocabulary resources for the cancer research community • Vocabulary Products and Services • NCI Thesaurus • NCI Metathesaurus • External Vocabularies • NCI Thesaurus - controlled vocabulary source for metadata • Has excellent coverage of cancer terminology • Expands based on needs for additional terminology • Based on concepts rather than terms • Each concept has a unique identifier or CUI with definitions and synonym • Housed by the Enterprise Vocabulary Service (EVS) • LexBIG • a caBIG-funded vocabulary server to enable a Federated Vocabulary environment.

caBIG compatibility Domain information modeling • A Domain Information Model is a representation of our understanding of an area of knowledge. • Domain Information Models consist of ‘Classes’ that represent ‘things’ in the real world • Classes contain ‘attributes’ that are characteristics of different instances of things in the real world. • Relationships between the classes are described by ‘associations’ and indicated by lines with directionality and cardinality • Each class plus attribute creates one Common Data Element (CDE)
