Session 2: Enabling capabilities of a shared observational data model

What capabilities can be envisioned for a shared observational data model? For example, with respect to data management issues such as annotation, discovery, transformation, integration, analysis, etc.

• What generic capabilities are needed across domains and projects?
• What specialized capabilities are needed for specific domains and projects?
• What challenges exist for the different capabilities? (e.g., data intensive, compute intensive, metadata intensive, etc)
• Do existing solutions (implementations) exist either partially or fully? Are they open source, extensible?
• For your project, what are the driving applications with respect to observational data?
• How should capabilities of a shared data model be prioritized? Do some depend on others?
