WHO has a database which allows access for particular queries, either via the API or ready made.

The ultimate goal for IDDO is being able to map a new outbreak.

Data Access at IDDO. Patient level information harder to obtain. If I want anonymised data, but with age and sex how long would that take? Takes up to 3 months to get access. When the the patient data is integrated they hope to shorten that access time.
SCox Point: the inventory and questions designed by the project team has a lot of similarities to DCAT. We can in fact integrated this methodology with DCAT. In future iterations we should use the inventory stage to populate a DCAT entry on the data set.
...
Project to support this kind of science: a discovery platfrom that goes beyond dataset discovery but can identify variable level issues relevant to particular domains.
WG Tasks
Recommendation to the WHO - URIs for each of the controlled vocabulary terms at http://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.metadata
Task for a subgroup is to go through the column heads on Fernando's spreadsheet and to redescribe them in DCAT or where necessary another specification.
Possible project: describe the design principles for a platform that 1) accesses species/vector, landuse and population density data for outbreak prediction; 2) allows the rapid ingest of occurance data into a platform that already has population and transit data integrated such that outbreaks can be predicted. Describe the standards, the design of the platform that can harmonise the data in real time. Can we make recommendations for the data types, and the upstream practices, such that they can be more effectively and rapidly integrated.
Need to identify some metadata and standards that are important; data formats.
Need to map out how these can be applied to the data formats.
