Abstract

We present the design and implementation of VISAGE (VISual AGgregator and Explorer), a query interface for clinical research. We follow a user-centered development approach and incorporate visual, ontological, searchable and explorative features in three interrelated components: Query Builder, Query Manager and Query Explorer. The Query Explorer provides novel on-line data mining capabilities for purposes such as hypothesis generation or cohort identification. The VISAGE query interface has been implemented as a significant component of Physio-MIMI, an NCRR-funded, multi-CTSA-site pilot project. Preliminary evaluation results show that VISAGE is more efficient for query construction than the i2b2 web-client.

摘要

我们介绍了VISAGE（可视化聚合器与浏览器）的设计与实现，这是一种用于临床研究的查询接口。我们采用以用户为中心的开发方法，并在三个相互关联的组件中融入了可视化、本体论、可搜索和探索性特征：查询构建器、查询管理器和查询浏览器。查询浏览器提供了新颖的在线数据挖掘功能，可用于生成假设或识别队列等目的。VISAGE查询接口已被实现为Physio-MIMI的一个重要组件，Physio-MIMI是一个由美国国立综合医学科学研究所（NCRR）资助、多临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）站点参与的试点项目。初步评估结果表明，在查询构建方面，VISAGE比i2b2网络客户端更高效。
