(5) Episode publication at TCS AH website.

The comprehensive web services allow speeding up the data integration process and reducing/minimizing the possible mistakes while incorporating diverse heterogeneous datasets through quality control. This process is described below:

• Data upload: Raw data is uploaded to proper ‘buffer’ subdirectory by the data provider. Each data provider has an access to dedicated buffer directory in CIBIS. ‘Administrator’ for this episode and his ‘Control group’ in EAC are assigned.

• QC1: Administrator sets episode as a new task in EPOS-IP database task management system. The Control group roles are distributed and the workflow Observer is appointed (20%).

• Data conversion and validation: Data is verified, converted (if needed) and homogenized by people assigned by Administrator (50% of workflow).

• QC2: The completeness and quality of prepared data is checked (60% of workflow).

• Data transfer, metadata preparation and publication: Correct data is placed in final directories according to episode data structure. Now data is visible to all database users who have permission to see this episode. All data files are described with sets of metadata prepared according to the rules. Episode can be published to TCS AH platform if needed. Metadata are also visible for EPOS-IP database users.

• QC3: Administrator checks metadata sets and accepts episode as correct (100%).
