The topic

💡  Interoperability solutions for InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health 💡

Develop an interoperability solution or a solution that helps to develop or/and maintain Interoperability solutions using InterSystems IRIS or InterSystems IRIS for Health.

The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition or IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition.

The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.

If you introduce special technology implementations in your application, you will get some technology bonuses. Stay tuned for bonuses description.

Some ideas for contestants:

  • IMAP - while InterSystems IRIS supports SMTP/POP3 protocols native support for IMAP would be an interesting addition. Discussion.
  • Swagger BO - Swagger is a leading REST API specification format. Automatically generate Business Operation from swagger specification
  • BS for binary protocols - similar to Swagger above but for binary protocols. Write-up is here.

One new idea for contestants:

MLOperation. Currently, PythonGateway provides low-level PythonOperation aimed at expert users who write Python code themselves. The idea of MLOperation is to build a high-level Interoperability adapter targeted at a broader userbase. Essentially your adapter provides generalized Fit/Predict/Optimize methods and users need to provide the data, target model type, and hyper parameter values. This closes the gap between the hands-off approach of the IntegratedML and low-level approach of the PythonGateway. The work is described in this issue.

In this webinar, we talk about the interoperability capabilities of InterSystems IRIS, will do a demo of building the basic IRIS interoperability solution, and demo how to use the PEX. Also, we discuss and answer the questions on how to build interoperability solutions using InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health.

Stay tuned! ✌🏼
