RxBatch - Batch Operations for RxNorm and NDF-RT APIs

RxBatch 1 is a web interface for doing batch operations with the RxNorm and NDF-RT APIs. Notable features include: • Functional Composition. Instead of a single API function, a pipeline of functions to be executed in sequence can be specified. Any combination of interoperable functions from the RxNorm and NDF-RT APIs 2,3 is permitted. RxBatch automatically ensures the interoperability of functions in the sequence. • Batch processing. Rather than a single value, the pipeline of selected functions can operate on a list of input values, specified by a file or entered interactively. Submitted jobs are distributed on multiple servers, and users can track the progress of their job. Users are informed via email of the location of the results. • Interactive mode. RxBatch allows users to interactively test and display results for small data sets. RxBatch allows users to create complex queries without ad hoc programming. With the capability of using two APIs together, a greater domain of problems can be easily solved. Complex operations can be run with a single submission, freeing up the resources of the user for other operations.
