Where we’ve been today– CBIIT Roadmap (for multiple programs)

– Technology Strategy (Vision of Interoperability with SAIF and ECCF)

– Semantic Infrastructure Roadmap and Static Semantics

– Technology and Security Roadmap Next up: caEHR sessions

Tomorrow, SAIF Effects & VCDE contributions to ECCF Implementation Guide

What’s next for VCDE?

NCI/ NCP Mission: Reduce the Burden of Cancer

CBIIT Mission: Interconnect the biomedical enterprise with an interoperable, standards-based framework that bridges research and care, driving and enabling 21st century medicine in support of eliminating the burden of cancer.

Mission is the Same!

4

Silver Compatibility – VCDE spent 5 years of building and managing processes and artifacts for interoperability of applications – Great work, new challenges

New paradigm = services, sSOA - to facilitate Enterprise level interoperability, where the enterprise is the larger clinical and research community, operating under SAIF and ECCF

caBIG not the only CBIIT program – merge/ reuse experiences/ processes/ tools/ standards where possible

How Does VCDE Change to Meet the New Needs?

Preview/Press Release

Evolution, not Revolution– Architecture must support business

Problem Statement: CBIIT needs to…– define, design, develop, and deploy software

components defined as business capabilities rather than “monolithic applications;”

– certify software components at a more granular level than the current “metal level” approach;

– enable automated/semi-automated certification; and– provide technology-independent specifications that

enable organizations to build software components that will interoperate with CBIIT components.

VCDE KSAs

Terminology/ ontology principles, reviews Models and Binding Terminology to models

– UML, Conceptual, PIM, PSM– Some understanding of importance of value

sets Developing and implementing review and

governance processes and standards Pool of people training up in ECCF Experience in mentoring Requirements gathering

8

9

Applying those strengths during 2010

Primary efforts over past months:– SAIF Effects on VCDE – • Working groups report/ discuss tomorrow, • Overview of existing/ developing / needed caBIG

processes (Brian)

Workgroup products feeding into urgent need, implementation guide for ECCF

Requirements elicitation

The ECCF Specification Stack

The CBIIT ECCF Implementation Guide (IG)

What it is: CBIIT’s implementation details of the HL7 “SAIF Book” (referred to as “Implementation Guide(s)” (IGs))– Information Framework– Behavior Framework– Governance Framework (reuse of standards)– Enterprise Conformance and Compliance Framework

When– ECCF IG is first

• Draft available ~May 15• Full operationalization by Fall 2010

– Semantic Infrastructure (v2) will include IF and BG IGs– Enterprise architecture governance SAIF GF IG

11

From Charlie Mead

12

Applying those strengths cont’d

For remainder of 2010 will continue to:– Work on implementation guide for ECCF– Contribute to operationalization (e.g. caBio

pilot)– Identify and merge processes/ standards with

caEHR (likely)– Contribute to Informational and Governance

Framework guides (likely)– Support translations among terminologies,

models (possible)

13

While we discuss how to define caBIG/VCDE in the future?

More problem oriented focus Convene smaller working meetings around a

problem/ issue Identify ways to get broader representation of the

“community” (clinical medicine, cancer centers, academic research)

Engage with caEHR, converge on standards Re: Domain models, should VCDE role continue to

be only guidance? Additional non-terminology ontology building

capabilities/ testing LexEVS for translation management?

Should the name VCDE be changed? 13

Thanks in advance for lending your expertise over the next months. There are still many questions. Maybe more questions than answers. Let’s work together to fill in the gaps.
