Vipul -

Your project plan handles "patient recruitment" only if you assume
that patient records are in DCM and protocol requests come in STDM.
Neither assumption is valid, so its design seems very incomplete.

Any useful architecture will map free-text requirements from *real*
protocol documents into working queries of *real* EMR systems.  DCM
and SDTM may help as intermediate "domain" schema, but without the
real-life endpoints, we'll show only trivial "interoperability".

To meet its stated goals, your project plan must demo (1) turning
real protocol text into queries within some "domain" language; and
(2) such "domain" queries actually working on real-life EMR data.

I've posted "COI architecture" models addressing both goals.  Your
tasks can be aligned with the work suggested, but they get fuzzy
on many details.  I request seeing group email traffic focused on
optimizing designs before going any further on enumerating tasks.

In 6-9 months, given clear designs, any small part-time group can
easily create all we need to properly demo our full use case, and
*also* illustrate general-purpose COI models.  It would be a shame
to blow that opportunity by defining group work tasks prematurely.
