Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Traditionally, terminologies were static datasets in books or databases.
  • This limited their accessibility and reusability for dynamic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a prototype for a new, dynamic view of terminologies.
  • To facilitate the development and integration of applications through shared information and knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the GALEN Terminology Server as a prototype.
  • Implemented a modular architecture and a uniform applications programming interface (API).

Main Results:

  • The server provides terminologies as functions and services.
  • Client applications can utilize terminological, coding, and linguistic functions via the API.
