Advanced User Interface for Network Access to Multiple Database for Biomedical Information Applications

这个项目将调查、开发和演示用户与多个数据库的接口技术，这些数据库最初是从国家医学图书馆(NLM)提供的或可访问的一组医疗信息数据库中提取的。还将考虑使用高清晰度、计算机可编程的显示技术，以协助图像数据的标志性渲染、显示定制和呈现。所使用的用户工作站将包含或能够获取每个数据库内容的详细知识以及从这些数据库获取信息所需的访问方法。该项目将以非格式化(“原生”)模式利用对医疗数据库的访问，从而在重新使用检索到的信息方面有更大的灵活性。该项目计划利用NLM医学主题标题和通用医学语言研究来帮助关键字访问数据库内容。*

This project will investigate, develop, and demonstrate techniques for interfacing users to multiple databases drawn, initially, from a set of medical information databases offered by or accessible to the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Consideration also will be given to the use of high definition, computer programmable, display technology to assist in iconic rendering, dispay tailoring, and presentation of image data. The user workstations employed will contain or have access to detailed knowlege of the content of each database and access methods needed to obtain information from them. The project will exploit access to the medical databases in unformatted ("native") mode, allowing for greater flexibility in the re-use of retrieved information. The project plans to make use of the NLM Medical Subject Heading and Universal Medical Langauge research to aid in keyword access to database contents.***
