EOSC4Cancer’s Deliverable 3.1 details the advancements made in Task 3.1, focusing on the
enhancement of interoperability between clinical trial databases and Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) for oncology.
The document’s principal authors are Macha Nikolski of Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and David Tamborero of Karolinska Instituet (KI) working within Work Package 3. Task 3.1 develops a data model that captures the complexity of new clinical trial designs as well as the intricacies of molecular markers used as inclusion/exclusion criteria to facilitate streamlined integration with bioinformatic pipelines, such as those used in CDSS. This task addresses the lack of standardization in data formats, metadata models, and data access procedures that often hinder effective data analyses.
