Air Force Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics System, DataCap-Data Collection Module. Phase 1: Development

Abstract

Cell biology studies involving genomics, proteomics and metabolomics technologies generate large quantities of data. Unfortunately, today's research environment is encumbered by inefficient access to this vital data. Information searches are hampered by disparities on both technical and conceptual levels between individual data sources. The current trend is for data sources to exist as a series of isolated computational silos, providing a depth of data in a narrow field of research. The Acero Genomics Knowledge Platform (GKP) is an enterprise solution that offers fully integrated data-representation across diverse scientific data types and sources. The DataCap data collection module (a part of the Air Force Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics System (AFGPB) application is one module of a series of modules that operate on top of the Acero Platform. The purpose of the DataCap is to provide the individual researcher with the ability to collect experimental data in an integrated format compatible with the Acero GKP. This technical report covers the architecture, the design and the operation of the DataCap in its Phase I configuration.
