title: The evolution of tools and processes for data mapping.
abstract: The 3M Healthcare Data Dictionary (HDD) group provides vocabulary mapping services for the Department of Defense (DoD). The process to manage changes in these mappings, the so-called "delta process," is complex and requires the exchange and management of large amounts of data. To aid in this process, the 3M HDD group has created and refined a vocabulary Mapping Environment (ME).
