 Flexible model driven software development as described in Swertz & Jansen (2007) has proven to be an efficient method to rapidly produce harmonized software infrastructures for life scientists while sharing the best models, software and tools notwithstanding large variation in research aims. This project will build and extend upon open source implementations of these methods such as MOLGENIS and Galaxy focusing on:
 
-·         Implementing __extensible standard data models and software components__ developed internationally (we co-piloted data models for microarrays, QTLs, GWAS studies [Swertz 2010], and phenotypes in EU consortia like GEN2PHEN and EBI and participated in international GWAS and sequencing initiatives like the 1KG project).

-·         Making tools and protocols reusable in __a user-friendly catalog of bioinformatics tools and workflows __that captures all necessary inputs, outputs, optimization properties and user interactions in models to automatically incorporate existing tools (building or inspired on Taverna and Galaxy).

-·         __Generating automatically from these data and tool models the scalable back-ends and front-ends needed__. This automatic procedure ensures harmonized software results building on industry standard databases for metadata and innovative approaches like cloud computing activities at SARA/Amsterdam, CIT/Groningen and BigGRID/Rotterdam to connect to the scalable compute power and storage needed.

-·         __Ease finding and integration of resources using semantic and ontology technologies__ such as developed at EBI and NBIC/Concept Web Alliance to build bridges between data and tools, tapping into existing ontologies for data (e.g. HPO for human phenotype ontology) and for analysis protocols to help user and systems developers to bring tools together.
