1. Introductory facts about
MIDAS project (2)
Funded by: EU Structural Funds and
national budget
Project budget: ~ 4.34M (i.e., almost 15M LTL)
Duration: 40 months (start date: January 1, 2012 ,
end date: June 30, 2014 April 30, 2015)
Current status:
technical infrastructure: not installed yet;
software development: beginning of 2
nd
iteration.
2. Implementation aims
and principles of MIDAS
to establish the infrastructure that enables
collection, organizing and storage of empirical
and research data (with corresponding metadata),
ensuring free, convenient, interactive search,
access and analysis of data.
MII 5
MIDAS implementation purpose
Prospective MIDAS users
Researchers, lecturers, professors, students;
Science and studies institutions
[and/or their representatives];
Institutions which present research data
(e.g., hospitals),
Research and development (R&D) enterprises;
Public administration institutions
which use R&D statistical data;
other interested physical and judicial persons.
MII 6
Development principles
privacy and security
(i.e., information confidentiality,
integrity and non-repudiation)
usability
accessibility
(functioning 24 hours per day, 7 days per week)
extensibility (i.e., software architecture scaling
in cases of incorporation of additional hardware)
MII 7
MIDAS compatibility
MIDAS archive will be based on usage of open
code software, XML format and other open
metadata, bibliographic, information retrieval
standards (CERIF, CERIF for Datasets,
CIF, DICOM, Dublin Core, MARC21,
ISO/IEC 11179-1:2004, OAI-PMH, etc.).
That will ensure compatibility with other
information systems, data archives and registries
in Lithuania and internationally
(e.g., Data Citation Index of Thomson Reuters
http://thomsonreuters.com/data-citation-index/ ).

3. Planned MIDAS
outcomes and peculiarities
The infrastructure
that enables collection, organizing and storage
of empirical and research data
(with corresponding metadata),
ensuring free, convenient, interactive search,
access and analysis of data;
MIDAS outcomes (1)
MII 11
National united research data archive
with analytical software tools;
Infrastructure for collection and transferring of
biomedical research data, consisting of DICOM
(for collecting data from medical equipment),
ECG (for collecting electrical cardiogram data
from medical devices), content management, data
depersonalisation, and data archiving modules;
Public interactive e-service
Search, Delivery and Analysis of Research Data.
MIDAS outcomes (2)
MIDAS implementation advantages
Guaranteed safety and
effective sharing of research data
Increased quality of research outputs
Preventing duplication of effort in
research data collection
Increased variety of research outputs

4. Data mining tool DAMIS
(slides by Olga Kurasova <......................................> )
Functionalities of DAMIS
DAMIS is a tool for analysis of the MIDAS data;
The following data mining methods are
implemented:
preprocessing (cleaning, filtering, splitting,
transposing, norming, feature selecting);
statistical primitives (min, max, mean, standard
deviation, median);
dimensionality reduction (multidimensional data
visualization);
classification and clustering.
Functionalities of DAMIS
DAMIS is a web-based system http://dev.damis.lt
(user name/password: demo/demo , 1234/1234 );
The web interface does not require any software
installation; a web browser is enough for its usage;
There is a possibility to choose
high performance computing resources
(VU MII cluster VU MIF supercomputer);
The usage is based on creation of scientific workflows;
The results obtained can be saved in MIDAS and
in a user computer.

5. Conclusions (1)
MIDAS will provide virtual services for
researchers and other participants in research and
education that can lead to more efficient,
effective and higher quality research;
Users will have the possibilities to:
register, find and cite research data,
search for and use other infrastructures and
tools (which provide data archiving services),
share or integrate data and tools to other
science and studies infrastructures;
MII 26
5. Conclusions (2)
National Research Data Archive MIDAS
will increase research cooperation possibilities,
because of simpler,
more convenient,
unified,
advanced possibilities of
research data collection,
analysis,
application and
sharing.
