Mediaflux: a data management platform for collaborative research
Abstract
Mediaflux™, from Arcitecta, enables the discovery, sharing and collaborative evolution of knowledge. It provides flexible capture and storage of arbitrary scientific and research data.
Jason will look at how e-Science customers, such as the Howard Florey Institute for Neuroscience and the Australian Animal Health Laboratories at the CSIRO, utilize Mediaflux™ for collaboration and research. He will conclude with a discussion of the interoperability issues for distributed research involving heterogeneous data repositories.
Mediaflux™ is a digital asset management and application platform that can be rapidly applied to problem domains requiring capture, characterization and dissemination of digital information and data. It supports flexible XML metadata and metadata evolution, trans-coding, workflow, replication, federated repositories and includes a high performance hybrid object-XML database and an embedded DICOM server. Mediaflux™ has been commercially deployed since 2003.
