Biomarkers for the EDRN Knowledge Environment

Project description

This product, eke.biomarker, provides display and RDF ingest of the biomarkers being studied by the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN). Biomarkers are chemical indicators for disease, and in the case of EDRN, the disease being pursued is cancer. This package lets a researcher browse, search for, and discover interesting biomarkers, determine how research progress is being made, find out statistical values of the biomarkers, and so forth. These features are integral to the EDRN Knowledge Environment (EKE). EDRN uses the EKE to make it easy to discover, share, search for, and retrieve all of EDRN’s collective knowledge, including cancers and other diseases, protocols, specimens, participants, staff, and — as in the case of this product — biomarkers.

Although intended for the EDRN public portal, it can be installed in any Plone compatible site.

This software is developed by the EDRN Informatics Center at JPL, operated by the California Institute of Technology, for NCI.

Installation

Use Buildout with the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe.

  • Add eke.biomarker to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

    [buildout]
    ...
    eggs =
        ...
        eke.biomarker
  • Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

    [instance]
    recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
    ...
    zcml =
        eke.biomarker
  • Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

    % ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file.

Changelog

What follows is a history of changes from release to release. Where issue IDs are listed below, you can find out more about them by visiting the issue tracker at https://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/jira/browse/CA.

1.1.0 - Plone 4

This release of eke.biomarker makes it compatible with Plone 4.

1.0.2 - A Mixed Bag

The following issues were addressed in this release:

  • CA-620 - Locks appear on biomarkers listed under a protocol incorrectly (test exposure)

  • CA-698 - “Structural” objects appear in searches

1.0.1 - Sweeping Views

This release adds a number of improvements to the biomarker views to reflect requests made by NCI that more specific details be captured in each annotated biomarker.

This release addresses the following issues:

  • CA-674 - Add PerformanceComment to the biomarker organ tab

  • CA-675 - Portal: Change name of sensitivity/specificity and add specific assay type attribute

  • CA-676 - Portal: Add decision rule attribute to biomarker-organ-study information

1.0.0 - Prime Time

This release addresses a number of issues that make this component (and some of its selected counterparts) “prime time” for the operational NCI portal.

This release addresses the following issues:

  • CA-528 Automatic periodic ingest of RDF

You can find the issue tracker at https://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/jira/browse/CA

0.0.6 - Open Door Policy

For this release, we’re exposing more information about biomarkers. Instead of making unapproved biomarkers private and requiring a log in to view them, you can now view basic information about them. Full details require a login. For more information, see https://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/jira/browse/CA-650.

0.0.5 - Eleventh Hour

This release includes some look-and-feel changes, specifically to support https://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/jira/browse/CA-600.

0.0.4 - Padlocked!

This release addresses the following issue:

0.0.3 - The unnamed release

0.0.2 - Various “CYA” Fixes

0.0.1 - Security Ingest

The sole issue addressed in this release is:

0.0.0 - Unreleased

Initial release into beta.
