How to. . . be a Data Contributor • Get your data matched & prepare to make it available • Match your identity data to the Data Commons infrastructure • Decide what data to make available to the Data Commons • Link your data to Data Commons • On-going… • Match new identities as they come in to your organization’s systems • Identify data prices and rules for availability • As application are approved, grant permissions for requesting apps to use your data
How to . . . .Request Data Data Confirmation • What: An organization requests that Data Commons confirm that information submitted by an individual is true • Who works with Data Commons: A software “app” eg journal, social networking software, etc. • How: Through an API Data Verification • What: An individual requests or authorizes another to request official documents / proof of status, certification, license, scores, etc. • Who works with Data Commons: A software “app” eg a CVO • How: Through an API
How to. . .request research data • Data Commons is building a “research app” which will allow individuals to request longitudinal data sets for policy, academic, etc. research • App is expected in early 2014 • If you want to be involved now, please let us know – we can use your thoughts as we build it!

How the Identity Matching Service (IDMS) works • Set up: Participating organizations provide identifying data about the population of interest, including the organization’s “native” ID (e.g., USMLE ID) so they can be added to IDMS • Currently matching 4 new partner organizations • On-going: As new persons are added or existing persons updated, the organization submits additional identifying data records to IDMS • On-demand: As data requests are processed, the IDMS translates “native” ID of the requestor to the “native” ID of the data contributor • Example: • NBME requests data about a student identified by a USMLE ID • IDMS translates the request to identify the student by an AAMC ID • IDMS forwards the translated request to AAMC
