2011.03.09 OMERO/HIC Kick-Off

Action Items

• We (DEV TEAM) will work with an anonymised subset of the GoDARTS data as the basis for the pilot

• We will define a couple of analyses that can be demonstrated

• We will define the requirements, stories and tasks

• We will work on porting a couple of key scripts (e.g. genome imputation, date of death validation, drug exposure)

• The initial focus (i.e. for the Wellcome visit) will be on developing basic tool(s) for data loading, querying, and export all of which are to be audited; the researchers will then use the exports as usual with their preferred tools.

• The overall focus will be on developing APIs for a key set of defined tools, (e.g. R, STATA, PLINK, VCFTOOLS) so that these can interact directly with the OMERO architecture

• We need to decide on a project name - current favourite is 'OMERO.med', if you have any suggestions please fwd them to me.

• We need to decide on the physical location for hosting the pilot data - I think we are leaning towards HIC (on the UNI network).
