An Introduction to the (first two of seven) HealthData.gov Domain and Platform Challenges
Q&A About the Challenges
ONC and i2
i2 Goals
• Better Health, Better Care, Better Value through Quality Improvement– Further the mission of the Department of Health and Human Services
– Highlight programs, activities, and issues of concern
• Spur Innovation and Highlight Excellence – Motivate, inspire, and lead
• Community building – Development of ecosystem
• Stimulate private sector investment
What is HealthData.gov?
• “HealthData.gov is a public resource designed to bring liberated health datasets, innovation challenges, and applications and tools to the public to help increase public knowledge and solve problems in health.”
– Todd Park, US Federal CTO• source
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
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)
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.
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!)
Cross Domain Standards
• OGC–http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/geosparql
• ‘defacto’–http://qudt.org/ (from NASA)
• OMG–http://www.omg.org/spec/BMM/
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
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.
About WebID
• Leverages existing Web infrastructure –X.509 certificates and TLS
• A 'mirrored claims' approach to authentication–externalizing LDAP, a human/app ‘API key’

Implementations
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
Timeline for both Challenges
• Submission Period Ends: October 2, 2012
• Winners Notified: Early November
