Integrative Biology — the challenges of developing a collaborative research environment for heart and cancer modelling

“…Projects such as Integrating Biology Virtual Research Environment (IBVRE; Lloyd et al 2007) have demonstrated that there are drivers for aggregating research data from disparate sources, which are then accessed via a single, central portal-with that portal controlling access to the variety of data sources. Typically, teams that wish to share data in this way will want to do it in a restricted fashion-they will only want to share a particular subset of their data.…”

In keeping with the theme of this year's e-Science All Hands Meeting-past, present and future-we consider the motivation for, the current status of, and the future directions for, the technologies developed within the GIMI (Generic Infrastructure for Medical Informatics) project. This analysis provides insights into how some key problems in data federation may be addressed. GIMI was funded by the UK's Technology Strategy Board with the intention of developing a service-oriented framework to facilitate the secure sharing and aggregation of heterogeneous data from disparate sources to support a range of healthcare applications. The project, which was led by the University of Oxford, involved collaboration from the

“…Requirements analysis across such disparate constituencies and such dynamic environments is particularly challenging (Breton, Dean, & Solomonides, 2005;de la Flor et al, 2007;Lloyd et al, 2007;Ure et al, 2007).…”

There are recognized problems in the course of requirements analysis and design for heterogeneous, distributed, and dynamic systems. These are particularly evident where the context of future use is not yet clear to users, and where the implementation of these systems will reconfigure the costs, risks, and benefits for stakeholding groups. The article provides examples of the value of collaborative early prototyping with users in two such cases-the design of a HealthGrid portal and a telehealth portal. We provide further examples of the value of the prototype as a vehicle for engagement, a sandbox for exploring emerging opportunities, a landscape for negotiating the reconfiguration of roles and resources, and as an early warning system for early identification of emerging problems likely to impact on usability.
