We have developed several prototype applications which integrate clinical systems with on-line information resources by using patient data to drive queries in response to user information needs. We refer to these collectively as infobuttons because they are evoked with a minimum of keyboard entry. We make use of knowledge in our terminology, the Medical Entities Dictionary (MED) to assist with the selection of appropriate queries and resources, as well as the translation of patient data to forms recognized by the resources. This paper describes the kinds of knowledge in the MED, including literal attributes, hierarchical links and other semantic links, and how this knowledge is used in system integration.
我们已经开发了几个原型应用程序，这些程序通过使用患者数据来驱动查询，以响应用户的信息需求，从而将临床系统与在线信息资源集成在一起。我们将这些统称为信息按钮，因为它们只需最少的键盘输入即可调用。我们利用术语表中的知识，即医学实体词典（MED），来协助选择合适的查询和资源，以及将患者数据转换为资源能够识别的形式。本文描述了MED中的各类知识，包括文字属性、层次链接和其他语义链接，以及这些知识在系统集成中的使用方式。
