A Flexible, Evolvable Data Broker

Abstract

We describe a Data Broker application developed for New York University Langone Medical Center. The Broker was designed to accommodate an evolving set of data sources and destinations with little or no additional coding. A schema-less RDF database, currently implemented in OpenRDF but amenable to other implementations, is a key to this flexibility. The independence from a database schema allows the Broker to operate equally well in other institutions and in other applications. Thus, although it was built for one specific purpose, it can be reused as a general-purpose tool.
