An innovative end-to-end Australian Imaging Service platform integrating data captured directly from instruments, data in clinical sites, and using containerized pipelines on both local High Performance Computers and cloud, that solves significant and urgent data challenges for Australian researchers.
There has been rapid adoption of XNAT, a data management and informatics platform for imaging research by Australian researchers over the last two years. The AIS seeks to standardise and integrate deployments of the XNAT platform to create a distributed federation of enhanced XNATs. Our innovative federation will consist of multiple institutional deployments linked with a federated metadata search layer, common community practice, expanded data modalities, and a Trusted Tool Repository ensuring ongoing ownership and accountability of data.

What does this project enable?
By integrating direct data captured from instruments, data in clinical sites, and by using containerized pipelines on both local High Performance Computers and cloud, we create a novel and innovative end to end Australian Imaging Service platform accessible by a single sign-on through the Australian Access Federation, that is both feasible and solves significant and urgent data challenges for Australian researchers.
