all right I'd like to just tell you a little bit about the roadmap that we have for developing TSD
and a new cloud and the rest of the year and beyond and at a high level our goals are to ensure
security to manage growth and to of course produce excellent and relevant research services
so for TSD we want to have an enhanced self service offering
it was mentioned earlier by Patrick but we will release support for creation of foreign new users
people who do not have access to the Norwegian electronic ID and the big thing that we want to
introduce is resource management so that people can have self service on storage ordering more disc
and more resources for their virtual machines on CPU and on memory
on the storage side we will move to unified storage so there will be no more copying of data inside
TSD to use high performance computing and for us it will mean simpler operations and we are
establishing an off-site backup for disaster recovery which will also have tape storage for older
files and there was a question about how long this transition will take and we hope to complete it
within the next few months
we have to be done before October so it should not take so long
so export links this is a feature that we will develop soon and it's the export equivalent of our
highly successful import links and then import link is something you go to the self-service portal
you create a link you share it with someone and then they can upload data to your TSD project and then export
link will work very much the same way you will create a link to a specific data set set the password
and and expiry date on that link and share
the link with your collaborator and then they can download the data and this is something that is even
more flexible than the publication portal of course it should be used with care given its
flexibility but it gives you the opportunity to share data with someone without you having to record
anything about them in your TSD project and this could be a good way of sharing publication data for example
that you just include a link with your article but yeah done with care certification this is a big
thing for TSD we are pursuing ISO certification we've already started with this work at the
beginning of the year and we are going to certify TSD for it security and quality management
standards and we have to be done with this by the end of the year
in virtual machines we want more flexibility so we will explore how we can reuse the so-called
personal VMs which Andreas demoed in Educloud and see if we can deploy that in TSD projects
there are some technical challenges which we must solve first but we believe this can be a good
offering for TSD users as well on the team we are planning to more new hires ready and
competence in high-performance computing and in web development so we will continue to grow the team
as for Nettskjema we've already seen some demos of the new Nettskjema integration and this will go
into full production in the rest of the year and there are some features that we are planning which
have not been demoed like self-service for granular access if you for example need to decide which
users should have access to form data you should be able to do that without asking our help and then
we are exploring
the idea of a web portal inside TSD for accessing form data and exploring form data we will also
collaborate with some of our users to create software libraries so that you for example in R or in
Stata can access your Nettskjema data directly without having to access it from files it should be
easier to write software that way not having to worry about whether the file is updated
and then one of the great things is that having this application programming interface towards the
data means that app development becomes a lot easier and this is a big win for Dagfinn and his
mobile app team we eagerly await the adoption of this in apps and then the last point here I
said hopefully integration with Helsenorge and the hopefully here is just because some of this is
outside of
our hands but we are in an advanced dialogue with Helsenorge again about being able to send
data from respondents directly to Helsenorge from an Nettskjema form so the workflow would be
that for example someone sets up a new Nettskjema eventually and then ticks a box that says should be
sent to Helsenorge and then respondents will get a copy of whatever they answered in there
with the provision of course that this is health-related and authenticated
with a Norwegian ID because those are prerequisites for using Helsenorge and the reason why we
are very excited about this is that it has the possibility to give TSD easier integration with
clinical systems because for example the Oslo university hospital they are connected to Helsenorge
via the Norwegian health network and if we manage to do
this then we can do this once and it will work the same way for Educloud and we do this once
and Helsenorge and Norwegian health network will then manage the integrations with other
clinical systems like tips and med insight and whatever else is running at the university hospital
and we are in discussions with all of these service providers about getting this done and
we have a use case which we are
working on right now
for Educloud we are pursuing what I could call feature parity with TSD so you can see from the demo
that many of the services which are in TSD is not yet in Educloud but we are working hard to
support that and to deploy that so there will be expanded self service for group management
nettskjema as you've just seen is almost there and then the data portal that you know from TSD where
you can do media capture will also be available for Educloud so that
you could record video and that could be immediately available in your project area and then import and
export links since we believe that these are useful features Dynamic digital consent Milan has
demonstrated will also be available as well as the publication portal
and lastly there is a project which you will hear more about FAIR at UiO and the idea is that
by using Educloud that your data will automatically be findable accessible interoperable and
reusable and we already have some of the same production and you will hear more about this later
and thank you
thank you
we have some questions we got this like basic question here and I try to give it to
to you Leon and what is the difference between Educloud and TSD can you in simple words try to explain you think
yeah there are two features which are very different the one is of course that you have
internet access from your virtual machine in Educloud and the second one is that you have access to data
from multiple projects on the same virtual machine and this makes it suitable for many types of
analyses but unsuitable for lots of others so in TSD one of the cornerstones of the design is that
if you work in a project and you can be absolutely sure that there is no way for another research
project to access your data but in Educloud it's much more flexible
there are many more interactions between projects and this is by design but it also presupposes that
you have to classify your data correctly and unfortunately the data classification between red and
black is not set in stone but if anyone is in doubt and they can contact us and we can involve legal
and privacy officer if necessary but the difference is probably in one word flexibility
and security and I guess we will see how Educloud which direction it goes and we are very
excited to see because we follow the usual use such as well as how it will be used so yeah it's very
exciting and and we have all the like on the I've talked about this you have like your personal
profile where we can send software as much more designed for specialized software program
looking forward to it too what's happening more than
I try to show this demo here delivering directly to TSD of course it failed but it worked one hour
ago this is still in progress and someone asked will there be a progress bar of course yes I have
actually seen the drawings of this progress bar and the user experience will be good
there will be something more about this tomorrow as well accidentally I started to say that you activate
your form to TSD or Educloud then we create a database and then I got a lot of database
questions I can answer the database questions yes please people do not have access to the database directly the
database is centrally managed it isn't database cluster and there's strong separation between all of
the different projects but it's not something that projects access directly and the interact with
the database
via a so-called API or application programming interface so if you're accessing your data in the
database it will be via another interface and the reason for this is that that is how we enforce
access control but yes it is for that very specific question it is a postgreSQL database cluster
how does the data look
so it is stored as unstructured data and Nettskjema makes the decision on how to
structure the data and we just store it we don't do anything with it we decrypted and select and
we have been working a lot on this new structured data format for Nettskjema which is a new JSON
format but most people don't
use this yet but of course the might be some users there as well because like we showed you today
we are generating just a CSV file today do you have any more plans how to use this
new API and data system inside TSD and Educloud yeah you should be able to fire up your favorite
programming language and directly access your data as a library
it should be as easy as that you should be able to if you are using python to prep install TSD Nettskjema
then import that and list your forms get your data and similarly for other statistics packages
yeah in probably the first one we will deploy library for direct access to the system is R inside
don't you think so yeah and those who will work with data directly and not in CSV files will see
that we have designed the format to be supportive of tabular data analysis because that is usually
the form that people want with their survey data
that's not very deeply nested and it's very simple
there's some questions about disc demands for wreck to use TSD is it possible to get
the project without REK approval now I see the question is for testing and we have a test project in
TSD and you can get a user in that project and then you can test functionality without applying for
a project and NOTE Treffsikkerhet: 91% (HØY)
it is also possible to get a TSD project without REK but then you need some other kind of legal
anchor for processing data which might be clinical usage or yeah some other body NSD for example
but if you want to test it then you should contact us and get a test user just Google TSD contact
email
always Google that's the best way I like it use your favorite search engine you can use anything
I Googled the most thing I googled these days is data UiO then I find the conference pages
there are some more questions about the delivery of data from the from Nettskjema to Educloud
they're asking about NOTE Treffsikkerhet: 90% (HØY)
sound and video and the answer is yes there will be some more information about what plants and how
we will create a general video filming mobile app for all users on Thursday there is a presentation
on that but that video app will use nettskjema and upload the data there because that is impossible
and we will also find some
we will find a better way to transcribe we are working a lot in that and probably that will
also be inside Educloud we will run this software I hope so yes there are now we had a small
demo of Leon showed us how to grow this institute is using TSD media capture to directly stream
data many people don't have that stable internet access for other reasons but they don't use it but
the other
out of more like an authenticated way of delivering video to TSD which has been working for a
long time but there will be yeah more info about the way you can deliver video to TSD and it'll
probably will come on Thursday
so what think we are like only 20 minutes over time now
we have to just say thank you for for watching us today
