The functionality of the cancer data aggregator can be described as this: a user is currently on a data portal or application. That application will connect to the Cancer Data Aggregator through an API that allows users to query parameters for data sets. The aggregator then queries across the Cancer Research Data Commons, NCI Data Coordinating Centers, and other NIH repositories, aggregating data that matches that query. The data will return to the aggregator to be transformed through a common data model.
