Health Datapalooza IV: June 3rd-4th, 2013 Cooperation Without Coordination: Managed Distributed Clinical Trial Data Moderator: Bernadette Hyland, Chief Executive Officer, 3 Round Stones Speaker: David Wood, Chief Technology Officer, 3 Round Stones Sivaram Arabandi, Clinical Informatician, Ontopro Tom Plasterer, Principal Informatics Scientist, AstraZeneca A challenge common among many healthcare organizations is to relate the detailed outcomes of external data, e.g., clinical trials, to their own research. Learn how Linked Data techniques were developed for the Web and allow for “cooperation without coordination”. This presentation will describe how 3 Round Stones and an international pharmaceutical company created a system to allow coordinated views of distributed clinical trial information. The system extended the Callimachus Project, an Open Source Linked Data management system.
