Description: Schrodinger Konstanz Information Miner (KNIME) Extensions, together with the open source KNIME interface, are designed to provide a means for researchers to develop, validate, and deploy multi-step computational workflows. KNIME is a data pipelining technology that provides a platform for researchers looking for a way to combine best-of-breed technologies from commercial software, academic programs, and in-house code. Independent of the Schrodinger Extensions, KNIME incorporates over 100 processing nodes for data manipulation and mining, including analysis models from the Wek data-mining environment. Additionally, the software includes plug-ins that run R-scripts, giving users access to a library of statistical routines. The Schrodinger KNIME Extensions nodes build upon the existing KNIME infrastructure and provide access to ligand- and structure-based tools from the Schrodinger Biologics Suite. Prime, MacroModel, and Jaguar have Schrodinger nodes that enable core functionality.

Users do not have to download KNIME to use Schrodinger`s KNIME Extensions. The Schrodinger KNIME Extensions package includes a compatible, publicly-available version of KNIME. Schrodinger`s KNIME Extensions run outside of the Biologics Suite. The software is a separate interface that can use the modules within the Biologics Suite to create workflows. Schrodinger`s KNIME Extensions is automatically downloaded with the Biologics Suite, but can only be activated with a (commercial) license key (which is currently free). The software stores data in the form of files, locally, on the user`s hard drive. If the underlying storage devices are encrypted, then by proxy all file data will be encrypted at the hardware level. No additional encryption is a part of any of Schrodinger`s file formats.

This software does not utilize a database.
Technology/Standard Usage Requirements: Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 6102 and 6500; VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
Section 508 Information: This technology has been assessed by the Section 508 Office and found non-conformant. The Implementer of this technology has the responsibility to ensure the version deployed is 508-compliant. Section 508 compliance may be reviewed by the Section 508 Office and appropriate remedial action required if necessary. For additional information or assistance regarding Section 508, please contact the Section 508 Office at Section508@va.gov. Please see reference tab for more information concerning product versions.
