MAHI Research Database Project Status Report August 9, 2001

Project Goals Improve medical database system using new technologies Focus on flexible, shareable, scaleable, domain independent architecture Development of models for Development of models for data validation, data validation, data integration and storage, data integration and storage, data extraction and analysis data extraction and analysis

Overcome the limitations Limitations of the MAHI database system? Increasing data point and table (Scalability, Extensibility, Flexibility) Increasing data point and table (Scalability, Extensibility, Flexibility) Add-hoc data validation and management (Scalability, Extensibility, Flexibility) Add-hoc data validation and management (Scalability, Extensibility, Flexibility) Inefficient data acquisition- slow and expensive query through recursive and cross referencing (Availability) Inefficient data acquisition- slow and expensive query through recursive and cross referencing (Availability) Abnormal/primitive data integration (Integrability) Abnormal/primitive data integration (Integrability) No data access control (Security) No data access control (Security) Local representation and no standardization (Interoperability, Exchangeability, Sharability) Local representation and no standardization (Interoperability, Exchangeability, Sharability) Stumbling blocks: Making the old way faster is the right thing? Making the old way faster is the right thing? Legacy technology makes it hard to build system Legacy technology makes it hard to build system

New Approaches Are Needed XML Based, Open, Standardized Infrastructure Available Available Flexible Flexible Extensible Extensible Scaleable Scaleable Interoperable Interoperable Exchangeable Exchangeable Integrable Integrable Shareable Shareable Secure Secure
