Workflow for Cancergrid TMA pipeline. The workflow shows the relationship between software components and data flow between the components. Red arrows indicate user input; blue arrows indicate internal data flow between the Cancergrid TMA database, the export of images and metadata from ARIOL and image conversion to prepare images for the Image Scorer. The image service application requests images from ARIOL (Ariol Web Service client), converts images into Deep Zoom format (Batch Deep Zoom Converter), generates a score form template for the slide corresponding to the core images exported and uploads the resources to the eXist server. The Cancergrid TMA database consists of eXist installed within Tomcat and xquery and XSLT for generate the web forms and Microsoft Silverlight for displaying the images. Green arrow indicates export of TMA scores from the database.
