A framework for uniform access to data, software and knowledge.

An object-oriented framework is presented that offers integration of various types of entities at one workstation. Five types of entities are distinguished: data, knowledge, functions, presentation forms and hardware, and for each of these entities an 'accessor' is introduced. An accessor offers abstraction from the particularities of access to the entities. For the interaction with this framework a programming language has been defined. A restricted form of the framework has been used to implement a prototype medical workstation for the support of clinical data analysis.

Integration of an object knowledge base into a medical workstation.

A simple, yet powerful, knowledge base and its development environment is described that can act as a "knowledge server", integrated into a medical workstation. In many areas, such an integration of a knowledge base with other modules and systems is required, but difficult or impossible to achieve with existing commercial development shells. Three applications of the knowledge base are described: a controlled vocabulary for the classification of Congenital Heart Diseases, an extended data model for cardiology, and management of syntax descriptions for the BMDP command language.
