ARMEDA: accessing remote medical databases over the World Wide Web.
We have created a computer system to access medical information located at remote databases over the World Wide Web, for epidemiological ad health services research. We made a preliminary prototype where a specific database model could be searched and information be retrieved. We are currently working on a new component-based architecture, where different databases scheme from various sites can be used to create a unified model, giving users a "virtual" vision of a single, local database. Different software engineering and artificial intelligence methods are used to access, integrate, filter and deliver information to users.
