v1 (I2B2 Demodata)

The v1 loader expects an already existing i2b2 database (in .csv format) that will be converted in a way that is compliant with the MedCo data model. This involves encrypting and ‘deterministically tagging’ some of the data.

List of input (‘original’) files:

  • all i2b2metadata files (e.g. i2b2.csv)

  • dummy_to_patient.csv

  • patient_dimension.csv

  • visit_dimension.csv

  • concept_dimension.csv

  • modifier_dimension.csv

  • observation_fact.csv

  • table_access.csv

Dummy Generation

The provided example data set files come with dummy data pre-generated. Those data are random dummy entries whose purpose is to prevent frequency attacks. For more information on how this dummy generation is done please refer to ~/medco-loader/data/scripts/import-tool/report/report.pdf. In a future release, the generation will be done dynamically by the loader.

Example

The following example allows to load data into a running MedCo development deployment (dev-local-3nodes), on the node 0. Adapt accordingly the docker-compose service being ran to load the two other nodes of this profile.

$ cd ~/medco-deployment/compose-profiles/dev-local-3nodes
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.tools.yml run medco-loader-srv0 v1 \
    --sen /data/i2b2/sensitive.txt \
    --files /data/i2b2/files.toml
