The lack of a commonly used format for information exchange has led to the development of version 3, based on a formal information model called Reference Information Model (RIM) [ 10].
At the moment, this envisaged improvement is hindered by lack of experience, the use of instruments still under development, especially for exposure assessment (Eteam project [24]), lack of structured templates and lack of easily exchangeable formats for information exchange (under development: ESComXML) [25].
The real power in this format of data exchange is that immediately after entry or update of information, the data are in the database and can be accessed by other collaborators.
Each focus group began with an introduction clarifying the format of the discussion and assuring the confidentiality of the information exchanged.
This is information exchange of the highest quality. .
The first step of this effort was PaNdata Europe that aimed at formulating baseline requirements and standards for data policy, user information exchange, data formats, data analysis software, and integration and cross linking of research outputs.
The SS-MiX2 (Standardized Structured Medical record Information exchange), the Japanese standardized data format, will be used to extract basic patient data (demographics, information on previous exams etc).
The purpose of the research is to gain insight into the type of information users exchange with architects in early design conversations and to better understand the influence the format of design interactions and interactional behaviours have on the exchange of information.
We refer to this kind of information as exchange information.
The information exchange is neutral.
