Eureka! Clinical Analytics 2.0-Alpha-5 -- An ETL Tool for Loading Data 
into i2b2.
Department of Biomedical Informatics, Emory University

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Eureka! Clinical Analytics! 

Eureka! Clinical Analytics is a web application that
		provides you with an easy way to phenotype a patient population based
		on their clinical and administrative data, and load those phenotypes
		and data into your own instance of the i2b2 data warehouse system.

This package contains source code only. For binaries, please go to

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.9 includes an update to the UI, now using Bootstrap 3, 
to make the application more usable on mobile devices.  It also 
includes support for i2b2 1.7.  A new feature to allow usage of 
BioPortal for ontologies was added.  The codebase was also updated 
to utilize Java 7.  A data element search functionality was 
added to the phenotype editor and job submission screens.  Eureka! 
can now utilize OAuth as an authentication mechanism, allowing 
the use of services like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and other 
to log into the system.  Finally, many improvements were made 
to ease the process of installing and configuring the software.

Version 1.8.2 includes minor bug-fixes. 

Version 1.8.1 includes minor bug-fixes.

Version 1.8 adds the ability to connect directly to a database as a
data source, in addition to the spreadsheet upload mechanism.  This
change allows Eureka! to pull patient data directly from a data warehouse.
There are also improvements to the phenotype editor and job submission
user interfaces.

Version 1.7 provides the ability to create new types of phenotypes.
Frequency data elements can now specify the first n occurrences as 
opposed to just n occurrences.  Value Threshold elements can not 
be defined in the "context" of other elements.  The jasig CAS 
(Central Authentication Server) was also incorporated into the 
infrastructure for greater security and Single Sign-On (SSO) ability.  
Other improvements include bug fixes, performance enhancements, 
more complete help documentation, and other data element enhancements.

Version 1.6 extends the rudimentary data element editing support
provided in version 1.5 to provide a complete data element editor. You
can specify a relatively complete set of the temporal patterns that
can be specified in the underlying Protempa software.

REQUIREMENTS

The current version requires Java 7. It is known to work with Oracle Java 7, and
it is expected to work with OpenJDK 7 as well. It is incompatible with earlier
versions of Java.

Eureka! Clinical Analytics uses the Maven build system, available from
http://maven.apache.org. You must install maven, if you do not already
have it, to work with the source code. Maven 3 is required.
