Abstract

HL7-based data exchange will be a critical component of the healthcare enterprise of the future. Clearly, the healthcare marketplace is driving toward full interoperability, in which HL7 plays a leading role. Version 3.0 effectively addresses the limitations of previous versions, and expands both the capabilities and value of the HL7 standard. The inclusion of new technologies such as XML ensures HL7's longevity, and its testing and validation capabilities are significant improvements. Version 3.0's RIM is the key "artifact" and represents the most comprehensive data model for healthcare. Although adoption of version 3.0 will take planning, time, and money, the resulting improvements offer significant benefits and efficiencies to providers and vendors alike.

The Longhorn Array Database (LAD): an open-source, MIAME compliant implementation of the Stanford Microarray Database (SMD).

BACKGROUND: The power of microarray analysis can be realized only if data is systematically archived and linked to biological annotations as well as analysis algorithms. DESCRIPTION: The Longhorn Array Database (LAD) is a MIAME compliant microarray database that operates on PostgreSQL and Linux. It is a fully open source version of the Stanford Microarray Database (SMD), one of the largest microarray databases. LAD is available at http://www.longhornarraydatabase.org CONCLUSIONS: Our development of LAD provides a simple, free, open, reliable and proven solution for storage and analysis of two-color microarray data.

Digital extractor: analysis of digital differential display output.

Digital Extractor is a program for the high-throughput processing of data sets derived from digital differential display-based comparisons of EST libraries. These comparisons can be utilized to identify discrete subsets of genes whose expression is restricted to distinct tissue types. The program facilitates these investigations by permitting parallel annotation of genes identified as being differentially expressed.

Achieving evolvable Web-database bioscience applications using the EAV/CR framework: recent advances.

The EAV/CR framework, designed for database support of rapidly evolving scientific domains, utilizes metadata to facilitate schema maintenance and automatic generation of Web-enabled browsing interfaces to the data. EAV/CR is used in SenseLab, a neuroscience database that is part of the national Human Brain Project. This report describes various enhancements to the framework. These include (1) the ability to create "portals" that present different subsets of the schema to users with a particular research focus, (2) a generic XML-based protocol to assist data extraction and population of the database by external agents, (3) a limited form of ad hoc data query, and (4) semantic descriptors for interclass relationships and links to controlled vocabularies such as the UMLS.
