Information repository

Develop an information repository for HFS with validated, "third-party" data and... 

The NREL is developing a web-based information repository as recommended. A concept for an HFS information repository is shown in Figure 14.5, with potential outputs noted in brackets. Items included under "permitting process" and "retail hydrogen station" will be linked to specific sections of applicable codes and standards in the database shown at the bottom of Figure 14.5.

More refined laboratory experiments have provided good evidence that many of the chemical components of living cells, including polypeptides and RNA-like molecules, can form under these conditions. Polymers of RNA can act as catalysts in biologically significant reactions (as we discuss in Chapters 26 and 27), and RNA probably played a crucial role in prebiotic evolution, both as catalyst and as information repository. 

In the framework, personal information nodes are the basic EMR data elements. All information nodes join together to form a data-oriented P2P network, called data grid, which acts a distributed information repository of medical records. Each node within the grid has a universal resource locator (URL) address, which may be registered to a central registry. By providing a URL and appropriate authentication, any EMR service can access any information node. 

Eliminate the requirement that the information repositories (information catalogs) that drive the functions of the SSR reside within the SSR. This requirement needs to be replaced with requirements for the SSR to possess reliable, high speed communication capabilities to access the information catalogs (and possibly part of the software) residing somewhere outside the SSR. This assumption may simplify certain elements of the SSR design but will make other requirements, such as communication and availability, more stringent for both the SSR and for the external information resource.
