HealthData.gov i2 Challenges• two types – three domain specific • improve the integration and liquidity of data made available – four platform specific • enhance the capabilities of the technology components• 3 rounds – sequenced to leverage dependencies • round 1: June through October 2102 • round 2: November 2012 through May 2013 • round 3: June through December 2013

8.
HealthData.gov i2 Challenges• June 2012 through October 2012 – Metadata (domain) • apply cross domain from voluntary consensus standards organizations and defacto standards, design other domain specific metadata schemata – HealthData.gov blog post, Challenge.gov listing – Simplified Sign On (platform) • enhance HDP infrastructure components with WebID identity provider and relying party capabilities – HealthData.gov blog post, Challenge.gov listing – $35K: $20K 1st, $10K 2nd, $5K 3rd place (each)

9.
First Domain Challenge• Metadata – requests the application of existing voluntary consensus standards for metadata common to all open government data – and invites new designs for health domain specific metadata to classify datasets in our growing catalog, creating entities, attributes and relations – that form the foundations for better discovery, integration and liquidity.

10.
Cross Domain Standards• W3C – http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/ – http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/ – http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/ – http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-primer/ – http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-org/ – other (…surprise us!)

11.
Cross Domain Standards• OGC – http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/geosparql• ‘defacto’ – http://qudt.org/ (from NASA)• OMG – http://www.omg.org/spec/BMM/

12.
Domain Specific Examples• Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services – Hospital Compare (Health Datapalooza 2011) – see blog post and presentation• from data.gov.uk – environmental data (‘bathing water’, or beaches) – ‘Web 3.0’ API example

13.
First Platform Challenge• WebID based SSO – will improve community engagement – by providing simplified sign on (SSO) for external users interacting across multiple HDP technology components, – making it easier for community collaborators to contribute, – leveraging new approaches to decentralized authentication.

14.
About WebID• Leverages existing Web infrastructure – X.509 certificates and TLS• A mirrored claims approach to authentication – externalizing LDAP, a human/app ‘API key’• for more info, see – http://webid.info/ • http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/spec/ • http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/wiki • http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/wiki/Implementatio ns

15.
Where we’re going with WebID • see (platform) challenge 4 – enabling very flexible and fine-grained access control • leads to data centric authorization – PCAST Health IT Report • data element access service’ – “secure the data, not just the devices” • US Fed CIO Steven VanRoekel
