Foundation
The foundation module is responsible for the infrastructure of BioRails, from configuration to security and integration.
Master data management - A key component of the foundation module is the terminology or master data catalogue used to implement a controlled vocabulary for the system, unique to each research organisation. This provides control of not only dictionaries and lookups but also the naming and behaviour of parameters within the system. This is achieved using data types and data formats which are combined into parameter types used to capture high quality consistent structured data. Download the Master data management white paper
Security - Authentication and authorisation of users can be controlled from external LDAP systems and users assigned into teams.
Integration - BioRails can be configured to integrate with external systems for compound registration and sample management; providing access to data such as sample, batch and compound identifiers without replication of data.
BioRails is a modern integrative application designed as part of an enterprise information landscape where terminology and data are implemented across many systems. The BioRails catalogue facilitates consolidation and categorisation of all the key concepts and terms with an organisation, acting as a central sourse of master data. The catalogue is the foundation of industry leading data management and is based on established standards, tried and tested in global organisations.
