==Notes==

* Discussed status of current XNAT implementations at CHB, MGH
** Yong and Wendy have recently met with groups comprising the three use-cases (Brad Dickerson, Rudolph Pienaar, Simon Warfield)
*** have chosen concrete goals for a "Step I" in each ( '''Basic Data Management for retrospective data''').
*** have established success metrics for each "Step I"
*** have a snapshot of the future goals of each use-case to guide future steps, & to feed back into XNAT implementation effort.
*** have gotten pointers to sample representative data from Brad & Rudolph
*** are working with them to describe the sample data and upload
* Ron would like to package as much information as required in order to facilitate easy deployment of CTSC informatics infrastructure at other sites:
** Suggests thinking about an '''XNAT Appliance''' that consists of
*** appropriately configured machine(s)
*** installed XNAT database
*** installed web services
*** web service client tool(s) for transacting
** Encourages that we think about formulating an XNAT Appliance description
* Yong discusses the difference between web GUI in XNAT 1.4 and current implementation, says it offers many improvements
* We briefly discuss feedback from use-cases about inadequacies of existing web GUI, especially in comparison to tools various clinical research groups are using, such as Osirix, Synapse, etc.
* Discussion of approach to setting up an XNAT instance at BWH
*** Mark Anderson and Katie Hayes will meet with system administration to allocate an appropriate machine, put it on the network, and if required, modify firewall
*** Yong advised on how to best configure the machine (linux-64, fedora) and on required packages for XNAT (cvs, etc?)
*** Mark and Katie will procede to set up the machine and Mark will walk thru XNAT instructions to create a BWH XNAT instance
*** Yong will provide advice as required.
