A service oriented architecture for a health research data network

This paper reports on an architecture aimed at providing a technology platform for a new research facility, called the Health Research Data Network (HRDN). The two key features - custodial control over access and use of resources; and confidentiality protection integrated into a secure end-to-end system for data sharing and analysis - distinguish HRDN from other service oriented architectures for distributed data sharing and analysis.
