Description:
This PA is a reissue of PA-03-001. The purpose of this PA is to
encourage small businesses to develop innovative software for
addressing the integration of distributed cross-disciplinary data
sources into coherent knowledge bases for biomedical research.
Federating such data sources requires solving a large number of
technical, scientific, financial, social and legal issues, and new
tools are needed for aiding in almost every aspect of this problem.
Applications are expected to describe at least one biomedical research
problem that will benefit from the proposed tool or tool set, as well
as to describe how the approach will scale when applied to additional
data sources and/or to other biomedical problems. A clear description
should be provided of how the impact of these tools on biomedical
research will be measured. Finally, a reasonable mechanism for
maintenance and expansion of the software as well as integration with
existing solutions should be carefully outlined.
