Presentation at the Department of Health and Human Services October 17, 2014 to introduce other agencies outside of NIH the development of the Commons concept.
Transcript of The Commons
Motivation
What Is The Commons
Nothing fundamentally new
Defined differently by different folks
A concept that will be stood up in conjunction with the $32m associated with BD2K
A collection of physical compute and storage resources – public/private/hybrid clouds, NPC, institutional etc.
Agreement to abide by the principles of the Commons
An agile environment that will be evaluated as small steps are made
An environment subject to additional BD2K resources (drawn from a total $650M) through 2020
What are the Commons Principles
Defined by the community!
Phase I (1-2 years)– ACL’s but an agreement to share (clinical and basic data)
– Usage by NIH intramural and BD2K participants
– First applications defined
Phase II (2-4 years)– Research object identifier scheme defined
– First phase of findability implemented
– Broader user base, API’s appearing
Phase III (3+ years)– Value metrics in place
– Broader adoption
Business Model
Immediate
Cloud providers and academia agreed to provide resources to stand up the Commons
Accessible starting Nov 3, 2014 at the time of the first BD2K Workshop
First shared content by end of 2014
Metrics of Success
