Development of medical school curriculum databases continues to be challenging. Representation of the instructional unit is becoming increasingly difficult due to characteristics of the problem-based learning (PBL) curricula. Curriculum databases may be used to store materials for the PBL curricula, and also to provide a delivery mechanism for those materials. However, in order to take advantage of the curriculum database as a tool for PBL, methods for accessing the curriculum database that are better suited to the information needs of students, faculty, and administrators must be developed. Concept maps are directed graph representations of conceptual relationships, and may be used to represent the content of a curriculum database. In this paper, we describe a Web application that uses Java-based concept maps was the user interface to a curriculum database.
医学院课程数据库的开发仍然具有挑战性。由于基于问题的学习（PBL）课程的特点，教学单元的呈现变得越来越困难。课程数据库可用于存储PBL课程的材料，并为这些材料提供传递机制。然而，为了将课程数据库用作PBL的工具，必须开发更适合学生、教师和管理人员信息需求的课程数据库访问方法。概念图是概念关系的有向图表示，可用于表示课程数据库的内容。在本文中，我们描述了一个使用基于Java的概念图作为课程数据库用户界面的Web应用程序。
