Shared pathology informatics network (SPIN).
Abstract:
The NCI Shared Pathology Informatics
Network (SPIN) program is devoted to the creation of a high-performance indexing
and retrieval system for cancer researchers to identify anatomic pathology
specimens from conventional clinical archives in participating institutions
throughout the United States. This large cooperative project, presently focused
on information system development, is being performed by two consortia
(Harvard/UCLA and Indianapolis/Pittsburgh). Substantial progress has been made
on scalable and extensible representation of tissue specimens, formulation of a
taxonomy for confidentiality and patient consent, and design of a distributed
architecture for indexing and searching for specimens that supports
investigator-directed queries with a standard Web browser on the internet. The
program suggests a strategy for high-performance annotation of clinical
specimens, and applications of the system to tissue-based research in other
areas of biochemical and molecular medicine.
