title: Integration of an object knowledge base into a medical workstation.
abstract: A simple, yet powerful, knowledge base and its development environment is described that can act as a "knowledge server", integrated into a medical workstation. In many areas, such an integration of a knowledge base with other modules and systems is required, but difficult or impossible to achieve with existing commercial development shells. Three applications of the knowledge base are described: a controlled vocabulary for the classification of Congenital Heart Diseases, an extended data model for cardiology, and management of syntax descriptions for the BMDP command language.
