Compatibility Guidelines
caBIG® Compatibility Guidelines The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines on caBIG® compatibility to caBIG® participants and interested stakeholders. This document provides a set of definitions that caBIG® participants can use to evaluate the maturity level of potential caBIG® systems and applications. This is a living document that will evolve to keep in line with the emerging standards and requirements for interoperability that are being defined by the caBIG® community.
Compatibility Certification Process
Gold Level Compatiblity
Currently being defined by caBIG®. Is expected to provide for a formalized grid architecture and data standards that will enable standardized advertising, discovery, and use of all federated caBIG® resources.
Silver Level Compatibility
caBIG® Silver Compatibility Review Process The majority of developer projects in caBIG® are developing to
Silver level compatibility. This section describes the review process
for caBIG®-funded developer projects and lists the status of products
(passed review, under review). For a complete list of tools that are silver compatible click here.
Bronze Certification
Bronze Compatibility Certification Program The caBIG® Bronze certification program is a mechanism for software products not created as part of the caBIG® program to be certified as compliant with the caBIG® compatibility guidelines at the Bronze level. This section describes the certification process and lists the status of products (passed review, under review). For a complete list of bronze certified tools click here.
Legacy
Implies no interoperability with an external system or resource. A system that was designed without awareness of or prior to the availability of these compatibility guidelines, and which does not meet any of the requirements for interoperability.
