Abstract
To provide clinical data in distributed research architectures, a fundamental challenge involves defining and distributing suitable metadata within Metadata Repositories. Especially for structured data, data elements need to be bound against suitable terminologies; otherwise, other systems will only be able to interpret the data with complex and error-prone manual involvement. As current Metadata Repository implementations lack support for querying externally defined terminologies in FHIR terminology servers, we propose an intermediate solution that uses appropriate annotations on metadata elements to allow run-time Terminology Services mediated queries of that metadata. This allows a very clear separation of concerns between the two related systems, greatly simplifying terminological maintenance. The system performed well in a prototypical deployment.
期刊介绍：
This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research (BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and communication media.
