Therefore, the i2b2 software implementation of terminologies allows for great flexibility, and some of the challenges in efficiently using metadata in i2b2, and related to data integration and metadata management in general.
Successful implementations of terminologies in other domains, such as the UMLS (Unified Medical Language System [42]), should be used to guide the organization of the raw data and facilitate the integration of existing terminologies representing particular aspects of the biomolecular simulations (e.g. chemical data, biomolecules, citations).
ISO standards can be used as a reference for the definition of important terminological concepts, as an introduction to the principles and methods of terminology management, and as guidelines for the design and implementation of terminological databases.
Knowing the two author groups are in touch, the implementation of a common terminology should be feasible and highly welcome.
The intention behind the specifications is to enable interoperability while still being flexible regarding information modelling design choices as well as choices of terminology systems, implementation technology, and human language translations.
However, ultimately, the goal should be widespread implementation of structured reporting with standardised terminology.
To enable the implementation of the selection criteria, and given the diversity of terminology employed, two steps were taken in the selection process.
Emphasis was focused on the balance of terminology and dentist-patient communication courses, adaptability, implementation, and evaluation.
However, the changing institutional and technical environment, the need to coordinate energy, resource and spatial planning, as well as inconsistent and ambiguous smart grid terminology make the implementation of smart grid complex for local stakeholders [11, 12].
Another problem has been the lack of consensus regarding EEG terminology and the absence of a uniform classification system, a problem that may be resolved by implementation of a standardized critical care EEG-terminology as recently proposed [162].
