MULTIMEDIA PDQ BREAST CANCER STATEMENTS ON THE WEB

描述：(申请人摘要)医生数据查询(PDQ)是一种 汇编了300多份关于癌症的综合声明 并由国家癌症研究所分发。这些声明是 以基于文本的平面文件格式在互联网上提供。 其中约150项陈述直接或间接涉及 乳腺癌。这项建议的目标是扩大 通过将所有与乳腺癌相关的PDQ语句转换为 “超媒体”格式，并在现有的癌症上传播它们- 互联网上专用的“万维网”服务器。这些文件将 以电子方式编入索引，方便用户搜索。用户友好型 将提供菜单以增强文档选择的简易性和 取回。最后，将维护日志文件并将其用于制表 资源利用率。该项目将分多个阶段实施 各阶段。在初始(开发)阶段，我们将制定、测试、 并细化“规则”，以管理转换过程。这件事会做到的 与国际癌症协会成员密切合作 信息中心(ICIC)，他们是PDQ的维护者。在第二个 (实施)阶段，其余与乳腺癌相关的PDQ 报表将严格按照既定的规则进行转换 在第一阶段和第三(维护)阶段，转换的文件 将定期更新，其西班牙同行也将 皈依了。为了评估我们的成功，我们将提供互动的在线 带有问题的调查，针对的是 资源。我们还将对以下数字进行统计比较 访问平面文件PDQ语句和创建的增强PDQ语句 在这里。我们相信这个项目将导致建立一个 将扩展PDQ乳腺癌用途的资源 声明，接触到更广泛的受众，并提供与癌症相关的 以创新的方式编写教育材料。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) Physician Data Query (PDQ) is a comprehensive set of over 300 statements about cancer that is compiled and distributed by the National Cancer Institute. These statements are made available in a flat-file text-based format over the Internet. Approximately 150 of the statements relate directly or indirectly to breast cancer. The goal of this proposal is to extend the usefulness of all the breast cancer related PDQ statements by converting them into "hypermedia" format and distributing them on an existing cancer- dedicated "World-Wide-Web" server over the Internet. These documents will be electronically indexed to facilitate users' searches. User-friendly menus will be provided to enhance the ease of document selection and retrieval. Finally, log files will be maintained and used to tabulate resource utilization. This project will be implemented in multiple stages. In the initial (developmental) stage we will formulate, test, and refine "rules" to govern the conversion process. This will be done in close collaboration with members of the International Cancer Information Center (ICIC), who are the maintainers of PDQ. In the second (implementation) stage, the remaining breast cancer-related PDQ statements will be converted in strict compliance with rules established in phase I, and in the third (maintenance) stage, converted documents will be periodically updated and their Spanish counterparts will also be converted. To evaluate our success, we will provide interactive on-line surveys with questions directed at the quality and usefulness of the resource. We will also make statistical comparisons between numbers of accesses of flat-file PDQ statements and the enhanced ones created herein. We believe this project will result in the establishment of a resource that will extend the usefulness of the PDQ breast cancer statements, reach a wider audience, and provide cancer-related educational material in an innovative fashion.
