Using Health IT Standards to Facilitate Metadata Exchange Between Research Data Management Systems

Abstract:
        The National Research Data Infrastructure for Personal Health Data (NFDI4Health) uses Local Data Hubs (LDHs) to manage locally research studies, documents and sensitive personal data to support controlled data sharing. While research data management (RDM) systems facilitate the storage and preparation of data and metadata as well as organizational access, they often lack support for interoperability standards of the application domain. To support the exchange with external registries of research studies, we chose 17 attributes to characterize the most relevant aspects of clinical trials (in the following named “metadata profile”). We implemented the metadata profile in the RDM system FAIRDOM SEEK using core attributes and SEEK’s extended metadata feature and created a mapping conforming to the Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard version R4. Finally, we implemented a prototype application interface for exports in FHIR-JSON format. We plan to extend the interface to serve central registries and support specific FHIR Implementation Guides from various use cases.
