The suggested approach avoids knowledge duplication, as knowledge needs to be maintained within the PCS only.
On the other hand, some level of knowledge should be maintained in a variety of fields for the researchers and firms to be able to follow and understand research made somewhere else.
In this way, domain knowledge can be maintained separately by subject matter experts without requiring extensive hard-coding changes to the surveillance software resulting from emerging public health threats or rapidly evolving domain knowledge for a particular disease.
Each 3-month project with students and a client (between 2000-2010), either from private (e.g., Nokia) or public sector (e.g., the Finnish National Tax Office), has been a genuine and result-oriented project, but configured to test the ways the knowledge engine can be maintained in collaboration.
Furthermore, if these governance models prove successful with archetypes, a part of the rule knowledge would already be maintained, since GDL relies on reusable openEHR archetypes.
Ultimately, such a knowledge-base could be maintained (respecting confidentiality as appropriate) as a reference for regulatory organizations to evaluate toxicogenomics and pharmacogenomics data submitted by registrants to those organizations.
This is a significant finding, as research has found that a supportive work environment increases the likelihood that skills and knowledge acquired in training will be maintained over time [ 31].
There is too little experience with GDL to be able to judge how easily knowledge captured in GDL rules can be maintained and extended.
In line with this view, Preda et al. have developed a view of an active knowledge base [20] supported by relevant data, that dynamically federates knowledge resources, part of the knowledge being maintained locally and part of the knowledge being dynamically retrieved from the web, the combination of which is mapped on the fly onto a local knowledge base and thereby enables knowledge as a service.
In connection with indeterminacy, the leading idea was that determinacy can be maintained by shared knowledge of grammatical structure together with a modicum of good sense in interpreting the speaker.
We have shown that acceptance can be maintained even while knowledge decreases over time.
