Abstract

An easy-to-use interactive program (QUEST) has been developed which facilitates the input, updating and checking of patient records from completed questionnaires possibly destined for statistical analysis by SPSS. Using the information about the data available in the SPSS control file, blank questionnaires can be generated, and up to date completed questionnaires printed. Selected cases can be printed out. QUEST is currently being used in four medical studies and one legal study. The program is written in standard Fortran-77 and makes full use of the new features of the language.

Data note system for capturing laboratory data.

The complexity of genome data limits the usefulness of traditional database management systems. The highly interconnected structure of genome data can be captured in a data representation language based on the mathematical formalism of graphs. We have tailored graphs for describing genome data and have developed a database management system, called the Data Note System, for developing small databases to capture data from genome laboratories. To simplify the use of the Data Note System, a series of tools with graphical user interfaces has been developed. The system is designed to be easy to install and use by novice database developers with a minimal amount of computer expertise. We describe the tools and present examples of their use. The system consists of a storage facility, a schema editing tool to simplify the design of small databases, and three tools for data entry and querying.
