| Term | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Aggregation protocol | Algorithm code how final/online results are computed |
| Analysis | Docker containers containing algorithm, analysis logic and software dependencies |
| Data discovery | Pre-analysis to verify biases, schemas or any other unexpected behavior by sites |
| Federated Learning | Parallel execution of analysis code at multiple sites, at the same time with a global result aggregation |
| FHIR | Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources |
| FHIR Core | Common data schema developed by MII to be fulfilled by each DIC |
| Final results | Results achieved by aggregator, can be encrypted project specific |
| FLAME | Federated Learning and Analysis In Medicine |
| Hub | All service components centrally hosted and operated |
| UI | User Interface |
| Paillier - key | This is the key to a homomorphic encryption system to additionally secure the calculated data inside the analysis |
| Proposal | A Proposal is an organizational unit in FLAME, which represents the collaboration between different participants in regard to a specific research or analysis project. It contains an initial risk assessment as well as a high level description of the requested data. |
| Registry | Service to distribute analysis |
| Result inspection | Before results are returned these should be approved by sites to not contain unauthorized information |
| RSA - key | This is the key to a homomorphic encryption system to secure the analysis from external influences |
| Nodes | Hospitals hosting a node to provide analysis controlled and secure access to patient data |
