Storyline: Central analysis

DATE: 23-08-2024 STATUS: ADOPTED

This article describes the storyline central analysis.

This storyline describes how a researcher applies the requested data in Central analysis processing environment. The data is delivered directly to the Central analysis processing environment, after which a predefined analysis is carried out on the data.

See https://health-ri.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HA/pages/164498055 for the collaboration diagram of this storyline

Pre-condition

  • The data user has submitted a data request, and this has been approved by the respective review committees.

  • The analysis carried out by the central analysis processing environment has already been established by the data user and approved in the Research data request service in Storyline: Request data

  • The data user may have generated data himself.

  • The contracts have been signed

  • Requested data has been made available by the data provider for the secure processing environment in Storyline: Data delivery

  • The data user is authorized to access the secure processing environment.

Process model

  1. The data user identifies himself in the central analysis processing environment.

  2. The central analysis processing environment checks whether the data user is authorized to access the central analysis processing environment.

  3. The data user requests to duplicate self-generated data as described in the Storyline: Generating research data to the desired central analysis processing environment (for the duration of the research).

  4. The data user combines self-generated data with the requested data.

  5. The data user instructs the desired central analysis processing environment to perform the analysis determined and approved by the data user on the input data.

  6. The central analysis processing environment performs the analysis recorded and approved by the data user on the input data.

  7. De central analysis processing environment makes the analysis results available for the researcher

  8. The data user generates research results by means of the process described in Storyline: Generating research data

  9. The data user makes the newly generated research results available within the Health-RI ecosystem by means of the process described in Storyline: Making data available at the desired data holder.  

  10. Data user has completed research and central analysis processing environment cleans up the used central analysis environment (including the content) according to established or applicable agreements.

Postcondition

  • The investigation has been carried out and the results have been secured.

  • The data management plan has been updated

  • The research project has been completed and the safe processing environment has been cleaned up.

  • In the case of a data supply for one study, the supplied dataset has been removed from the data exchange platform.

  • The study is documented in such a way that it is repeatable.
