The Mission

The Problem

Medical researchers are faced with a complex and changing data landscape.

  • Disparate data silos

  • Distinct data storage systems

  • Distributed data owners

  • Dynamic unstructured data with high volume, variety, and velocity

Solution

The MedBus Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) contributes to the MSIS Research IT strategic goal of building and deploying federated data integration services. These integration services are being developed as part of a broader Research Data Strategy Architecture.

UMHS Research Data Strategy

A Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework for data federation provides a simplified and flexible connection to research data sources.

  • Facilitates data discovery

  • Increases data interoperability

  • Leverages existing domain specific talent and knowledge

  • Accelerates alignment of IT resources to shifting research needs
