The i2b2 Software Development Team is currently working on the following:

Enhancements of Core Cells:

• AJAX Web Client Support for Queries and Analyses - light client implementation for enterprise exposure of i2b2 Hive.
• Query by Values -query tools in the workbench to support the ability to find specific values in labs or gene expression.
• Upload data through Workbench - preformatted text files w/MRNs can be used to update data and file repository.
• Integration of several data export and analysis tools in i2b2 Workbench.
• Support for multiple platforms & database brands - SQL Server db support [aside from Oracle] and limited core functionality implemented in cells written in C# [aside from Java].

New Cells:

• Correlation Analysis Cell - An i2b2 Workbench plug-in and server side code that utilizes a cluster to perform calculations that find correlations within the data using relationship networks

• File Repository Cell - A core cell that manages files using the i2b2 Workbench, allowing large file storage (images and microarray results) and referencing by the clinical research chart.

• Image Annotation Cell - Infrastructure to allow image viewing and annotation in the clinical research chart.
