整合信息的愿景-从各种来源，进入人们的工作方式，以改善决策和过程-是生物医学信息学的基石之一。随着信息和通信技术的进步以及生物医学信息学的发现，关于如何实现这一愿景的想法也在不断发展，并改变了可能性的艺术。这次审查确定了三代不同的“一体化”项目。第一代项目创建数据库并将其用于多种目的。第二代项目通过企业信息架构将来自不同来源的信息整合在一起。第三代项目将不同但可访问的信息源相互关联，以提供集成的外观。审查表明，前几代人发展的思想并没有被后来几代人的思想所取代。相反，这些想法代表了一个连续的进展沿着三个维度的工作流程，结构和提取。
The vision of integrating information-from a variety of sources, into the way people work, to improve decisions and process-is one of the cornerstones of biomedical informatics. Thoughts on how this vision might be realized have evolved as improvements in information and communication technologies, together with discoveries in biomedical informatics, and have changed the art of the possible. This review identified three distinct generations of "integration" projects. First-generation projects create a database and use it for multiple purposes. Second-generation projects integrate by bringing information from various sources together through enterprise information architecture. Third-generation projects inter-relate disparate but accessible information sources to provide the appearance of integration. The review suggests that the ideas developed in the earlier generations have not been supplanted by ideas from subsequent generations. Instead, the ideas represent a continuum of progress along the three dimensions of workflow, structure, and extraction.
