Harmonization experts must understand the spatial harmonization theory (more information in [8]), have the skills to handle data models (with in-depth knowledge of conceptual modeling languages and encodings), and practically realize the harmonization (e.g. skills to handle ETL tools).
Countries will finally realize that regulatory harmonization is a good thing and that individual self-interest is not.
Could we see harmonization between Windows RT and Windows Phone?
However, the value gained from combining disparate datasets to address broad-scaled research questions can only be fully realized through data harmonization, i.e., adjusting for differences in units, formatting, naming, and other conventions, so that datasets collected by different data providers can be integrated.
We are collaborating with the Bioconductor group to produce the RCy3 harmonization library for R, which leverages cyREST to realize native R network visualization, analysis, and publishing functions.
Although one can hardly be against harmony and for discord, it is important to realize (taking the metaphor of "harmony" as a model) that harmonization does not mean that an identical method needs to be applied to all cases for all agents and disease endpoints.
They should be maintained by dedicated personnel in a centralized way, to realize good quality control, proper access, regulatory and ethical competence and harmonization and standardization.
To realize an integrated overall approach of modernization by harmonizing different methods and concepts, first, one has to prove their relationship to policy and strategy (vertical harmonization).
Anyway, people do realize.
