Background:
Integration of health data systems is an open problem. Most of the active initiatives are based on the use of standards. However, achieving a widely and generalized compliment of such standards still seems a costly task that will take a long time to be completed. Even more, most of the standards are proposed for a specific use, without integrating other needs.
Objectives:
We propose an alternative to get a unified view of health-related data, valid for several uses, that unites heterogeneous data sources.
Methods:
Our proposal integrates developments made so far to automatically learn how to extract and convert data from different health-related systems. It enables the creation of a single multipurpose point of access.
Results:
We present the EhRagg notion and its related concepts. EHRagg is defined as a middleware that, following the FAIR principles, integrates health data sources offering a unified view over them.
