Description
00 Background and Summary 0 o The ease-of-use of the Internet today and the convergence of network technologies such as satellite networks and mobile cellular networks like 3G and 3.5G have led to exponential growth in Internet usage. Thus, most applications are built with the notion of a "Networked World" environment in mind, wherein all applications or networked devices have the ability to communicate with their environment and each other. Yet in the medical science world today, most medical-related organisations do not have a uniform system or environment that allows for easy communication between medical experts or medical researchers through existing Internet infrastructure securely. Parts of the reasons are lack of
O
information communication technology (ICT) standardisation guidelines, security policies and confidentiality assurances in the medical-related organisations. With all this constraints, most of the
O
O medical-related organisations reluctant to provide services that allow users to communicate and share resources with external people. Therefore, most organisations only have Intranet infrastructure for their 00 O staff to share information internally and for use as internal communication tools. It is hard therefore for 0 medical experts to collaborate with others external to their organisation. In this information age, we (-i need to understand the importance of information and communication with external collaborators in free-form interactions.
Advent of new internet technology, increasing mass storage space, and rapidly growing network speed has resulted in increased demand for well-designed collaboration infrastructure in medical research arena. However, the current trends are merely focusing on the invention and design of uniform pathology systems, medical administration systems, hospital billing systems, and clinical management systems. What about medical research collaborative platforms? At this point in time, there is not any appropriate system that built with medical research community initiative that provides on-demand services such as research project management and communication tools in a collaborative environment targeted solely for the medical science audience. Existing inventions like Facebook, MySpace or Friendster invented online community platform and community based applications for people to form a virtual community for easy interaction among friends and others. However, all these inventions are designed for a general audience, and the business goal is to engage target audiences as long as possible for their advertising and marketing purposes. In addition, some of these inventions allow users to mediate human activities including but not limited to communication, entertainment, games, and media distribution as a part of their freely available services. Therefore, some of these inventions like Facebook and MySpace have been blocked by certain organisations seeking to prevent their employees from using them during office hours.
The present invention addresses this need by providing a collaborative platform, networking environment and an on-demand online content and project management tool for the medical science audience. With this design and solution, any collaborator will able to locate and communicate with other collaborators easily.
Another aspect of the present invention is that the system provides a method to unite collaborators as a team in order to manage project resources using the project management tool. This association creates 00 a centralised environment in which team members can create a workspace as well as share, manage and S search for project resources and knowledge archives.
O
The present invention also provides a meeting management tool that enables more efficient management of meeting agenda content. Additionally, it has the facilities to host a virtual meeting room that can run an online presentation on your meeting agenda to collaborators. The tool also enables users to decide on meeting dates more proactively and efficiently.
Additionally, the system enables users to create online data collection forms, surveys, questionnaires, e- O training kits, and interactive multimedia Q&A online applications through a sub program called eXtended Form Designer Tool (XFDT). It uses extensible language format such as XML and has the ability O to transform and deliver user requirements into different mediums such as Web, PDF, Mobile and Flash
O
Template.
00 O Furthermore, it also provides extranet services so that other medical-related organisations can connect
O
to the core services through some form of networking, Application Programming Interface (API), or ondemand web services interface. Through this de-centralised approach, data analysis can be run remotely on any established computational resources.

Detailed Explanation [Figure 1] This shows the layered architecture of the present invention "Medical Research Collaborative Platform". It consists of 5 core services which include the Application Layer, Member (eDirectory), Organisation (eDirectory), Resource Repository, and Remote Business Service. The application layer is a logical grouping of all available on-demand applications for this platform. Member (eDirectory) is a systematic method to organise member profiles and their associations to others members or organisations. Conversely, Organisation (eDirectory) is another systematic method that organises and manages the relationship between organisations and registered members. The Resource Repository is a vital core service offering of this invention. It has a data service facility that provides data validation, data verification, data cleaning, data transformation, data analysis, and data quality assurance services.
00 All data services are controlled and verified against data schemas, taxonomies, policies, and in-built S versioning capabilities. This invention provides flexibility and control over where data is stored for some
O
(N on-demand applications like the data collection service. Thus, users have the choice of storing data in either a centralised database environment or a remote database environment controlled by the remote organisation's administrators. In the remote database environment scenario, users need to deploy "Remote Business Services" on their organisation's web server as an interface so data can be retransmitted back to their remote database via service-oriented architecture (SOA).
[Figure 2] This shows the overall functionalities of present invention provide a centralised collaborative

Potential to access Cloud Computing Resources and Computational Resources &Tools [Figure 3] This shows how the present invention provides a centralised environment to manage project meeting agendas. Each project can have one or more meetings. Each meeting can only have one active agenda even through the system has built-in version control. The version control provides users with the 00 ability to track changes in the collaborative environment and also a rollback mechanism for the active S meeting agenda. Moreover, it also has the facilities to associate project resources like documents,
O
(N images and videos on the agenda. Thus, it can provide a better environment for project management in C4 a collaborative environment as it provides easy, centralised access to project resources. The meeting agenda design supports use of an extensible language format such as XML. It has its own XML schema that explains how the agenda should be written. This provides users with greater flexibility and a portable environment when dealing with the meeting agenda file. Users are able to download the XML file on any platform, modify it with any text editor tool online or offline, then upload the file back onto o the system.
[Figure 4] This shows the relationship between collaborators, projects, meetings, meeting rooms,
O
O personal calendars and project calendars. In this invention, all registered users will have an electronic personal calendar that allows them to manage their own personal activities and project-related 00 O activities like project meetings. Each project has an electronic project calendar that allows users to S manage their project milestones and meeting timelines. Calendars associated with a project are accessible to all project members and collaborators only. Therefore, when arranging a meeting, it is much easier to invite project members and collaborators to a meeting. All project meeting invitations will automatically appear on a user's personal calendar; the user has a choice whether to attend. If a user chooses to attend the project meeting, it will automatically update the project meeting calendar to show that you will be attending.
[Figure 5] This shows how the meeting agenda XML file is able to be transformed into online presentation slides through this lightweight virtual meeting room facility. Through the virtual meeting room, users are able to arrange an electronic web-based meeting that allows users to attend the meeting from has any geographical location that has an internet connection. The virtual meeting room only provides the facility to present your meeting agenda online without voice support. However, users can easily use existing VOIP or phone infrastructure together with this invention to form a two-way conversation. Another advantage of this invention is that users have the ability to join the meeting via their mobile web browser in an inactive user session (read-only).
