Biomedical researchers share a common challenge of making complex data understandable and accessible as they seek inherent relationships between attributes in disparate data types. Data discovery in this context is limited by a lack of query systems that efficiently show relationships between individual variables, but without the need to navigate underlying data models. We have addressed this need by developingHarvest, an open-source framework of modular components, and using it for the rapid development and deployment of custom data discovery software applications.Harvestincorporates visualizations of highly dimensional data in a web-based interface that promotes rapid exploration and export of any type of biomedical information, without exposing researchers to underlying data models. We evaluatedHarvestwith two cases: clinical data from pediatric cardiology and demonstration data from the OpenMRS project.Harvest'sarchitecture and public open-source code offer a set of rapid application development tools to build data discovery applications for domain-specific biomedical data repositories.
