The project will migrate from an in-house designed and architected datawarehouse structure to a aligned structure. As part of the migration the current API layer will be updated to utilize the new data structure and expanded to provide a more robust abstraction of the underlying structure. The updated API structure will be able to provide access to JSON structured data elements for use by researchers. The project will be architected, built and supported by OPI staff with the assistance of contracted staff augmentation to help us bootstrap the effort. In addition to OPI staff there is an open source community providing resources that may be integrated into our efforts while some of our work may also be provided to the open source community to assist other similar efforts being carried out in other states. We hope to explore additional functionalities that may be enabled through the API layer including the feasibility of self-service data marts for research goals.
