Data Integration in the Human Brain Project

The Medical Informatics Platform of the Human Brain Project has the challenging task of organizing and presenting to its users a variety of data originating from different hospitals and hospital systems in a unified way, while protecting patients privacy as imposed by national legislation and institutional ethics. In this paper we view these challenges under the scope of data integration and analyze preliminary steps taken towards realizing the Medical Informatics Platform.
