This permits to combine the two levels of the dual model-based architecture in one modeling framework which can also integrate terminologies available in OWL format.
In practice, large-scale manual mapping is the most common endeavor, in which teams of consultants (such as Apelon or Intelligent Medical Objects) are employed to integrate terminologies.
These databases are cross-referenced between each other, providing a way to collect and integrate the terminology for a specific gene/protein entity from the different sources in a single entity.
For reminder rules, the RAEs are not fully integrated with terminology services and KEs have to manually lookup and transcribe the relevant terminology concepts and classes.
Thus, testing different indexing techniques for coded information integrated with terminology servers needs to be explored.
Rule authoring environment (RAE) refers to the suite of tools that manage the end-to-end process of creating specifications for rules, integrating with terminology, and authoring, testing, publishing and reporting on those rules.
RAEs include not only rule editors used to author rules, but also other ancillary tools needed to span the steps of the rule authoring process as described in Figure 1: creating knowledge specifications, integrating with terminology, authoring rules, testing rules, publishing rules and reporting.
Process 2: Integrate with Terminology Includes local terminology, commercial content, standard terminology, and value sets.
To work toward this goal, integrated medical/biological terminologies and ontologies have to be adopted, together with advanced semantic-based models and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to objectively describe medical and biomolecular findings.
Most of the work done so far has studied the problem of terminology binding at design time, i.e. the study of the problem of integrating information and terminology models or the proposal of solutions or demarcations between these two representational alternatives.
