Design

Utilizing i2b2's reusable application programming interface (API)  to support OMOP data model. The ACT-OMOP ontology queries OMOP table views that correspond to the OMOP table structure. On one database, the OMOP data and the i2b2 application layer are loaded. With the ontology, it becomes possible to query OMOP tables using the i2b2 interface. The design document can be found here.




Steps to build ACT-OMOP Ontology

Step 1: Acquire downloads

First, download the necessary components onto a computer that can connect to your target database and from which you can run SQL queries.

Step 2: Create core tables and Views (OMOP, i2b2, and ACT-OMOP specific):

  • OMOP: If you will be creating a new OMOP database for this installation, then:
    • Run the OMOP 5.4 DDL SQL Scripts you downloaded in the last step, using a SQL client.
      • It is recommended to run the DDL, indices, and primary key scripts, but NOT the constraints scripts. This can cause problems during ETL.
    • This step can be skipped if you already have OMOP on your target database.
  • If you have not installed i2b2 previously (i.e. you are not setting this up as an i2b2 Project in a larger installation):
  • Make sure i2b2 is configured for multiple fact tables by changing the appropriate entry in the database.
  • i2b2: Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of the i2b2 installation guide to create the additional i2b2 tables needed for the application server: Chapter 3. Data Installation, these sections specifically:
    • 3.4 Crcdata Tables
      • In 3.4.2, edit the CRC db properties file with  ACT-OMOP  to set db.project parameter  to load act-omop specific concept_dimension data  .

Step 3 : Build ACT-OMOP CONCEPT DIMENSION

      • Image Added
      • Perform step 3.4.3-3.4.5
. Run the ant command: ant
      • and drop/rename the PATIENT and VISIT_DIMENSION tables. E.g., run the commands:

                               ant -f data_build.

xml db

xml create_

demodata

crcdata_

load_data

This will execute the insert_act_concept_dimension SQL script from the edu.harvard.i2b2.data\Release_1-7\NewInstall\Crcdata\scripts\act-omop\<db type> folder and loads A concept dimension table

After creating the tables in 3.4.3, you will need to drop

tables_release_1-7 

FROM THE DATABASE: DROP PATIENT_DIMENSION; DROP VISIT_DIMENSION;

ant -f data_build.xml create_procedures_release_1-7

ant -f data_build.xml db_demodata_load_data

The final ant script will create act-omop Views, which point to the OMOP tables, and loads the concept_dimension table with act-omop concepts data, as well as creating the standard CRC tables and procedures.

Info

Be sure to drop/rename PATIENT_DIMENSION and VISIT_DIMENSION

, because these will be replaced by views in the next step. ....
  • Perhaps put the drop right in the project-specific script?   
  •  In 3.4.5, are we going to include a concept_dimension or the build script to run at the end?  
    • Yes, to do.
  • Step 4

    tables before you run the db_demodata_load_data ant target.


    Step 3: ACT-OMOP v4 ontology data load

    and Views creation

    process

    • Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of the i2b2 installation guide to create and load the ACT-OMOP metadata project.
      • 3.7 Metadata Tables
        • In 3.7.2, edit the Metadata db properties file with  .  In db.properties, set db.project=ACT-OMOP  project parameter which will direct the ant script to load the ACT-OMOP ontology. In db.properties, set db.project=ACT-OMOP                             Image Removed  
        • In 3.7.3, do they skip CREATE METADATA????In 3.7.4, only load the regular data, not the identified data. Run the ant command command:

                                         ant -f data_build.xml db_metadata_load_

    data.   

    data  

        • This will execute the  SQL scripts from the edu.harvard.i2b2.data\Release_1-7\NewInstall\Metadata\act
      • _
        • -omop\scripts\<db type> folder
      • . This will
        • and:
          • Create and load
              • Creates ACT-OMOP v4 Ontology metadata tables with indexes. 
          • Create
              • Loads the
          • ACT-OMOP views by executing BUILD_ACT_OMOP_VIEWS_ALL_MSSQL.sql
              • act-omop metadata


        Info

        The Lab metadata tables should have data in the C_METADATAXML column in order for the lab values to be queriable from UI

         If the C_METADATAXML is missing from the source ontology Lab metadata file, you can load the values from the standard i2b2-ACT Lab metadata table.


        Step 64: Create Project

        Finally set up an i2b2 OMOP project pointing to the i2b2-OMOP database that you just configured.  

        6.6.0. [DRAFT] Guide to creating a new project with the admin tool.

        Verify the Ontology is displayed and queriable from the webclient

        Info

        The concept_Dimension is populated from metadata tables.

        Verify create_omop_act_concept_dimension.sql to ensure it has complete metadata tables information before running the script

        Example: the ACT/OMOPVital_Signs information should be in the script to load the ACT/OMOPVital_Signs concept data


        Notes

        Both the ACT-OMOP Ontology tables, views and data is available under edu.harvard.i2b2.data\Release_1-7\NewInstall\Metadata\act-omop folder.
