Biomedical research networks need to integrate research data among their members and with external partners. To support such data sharing activities, an adequate information technology infrastructure is necessary. To facilitate the establishment of such an infrastructure, we developed a reference model for the requirements. The reference model consists of five reference goals and 15 reference requirements. Using the Unified Modeling Language, the goals and requirements are set into relation to each other. In addition, all goals and requirements are described textually in tables. This reference model can be used by research networks as a basis for a resource efficient acquisition of their project specific requirements. Furthermore, a concrete instance of the reference model is described for a research network on liver cancer. The reference model is transferred into a requirements model of the specific network. Based on this concrete requirements model, a service-oriented information technology architecture is derived and also described in this paper.
生物医学研究网络需要整合其成员之间以及与外部合作伙伴的研究数据。为了支持此类数据共享活动，需要有适当的信息技术基础设施。为了促进此类基础设施的建立，我们针对需求开发了一个参考模型。该参考模型由五个参考目标和十五个参考需求组成。使用统一建模语言，将目标和需求相互关联起来。此外，所有目标和需求都在表格中进行了文字描述。该参考模型可供研究网络用作高效获取其项目特定需求的基础。此外，还针对一个肝癌研究网络描述了该参考模型的一个具体实例。该参考模型被转换为特定网络的需求模型。基于这个具体的需求模型，推导出一个面向服务的信息技术架构，并在本文中进行了描述。
