Interpretation of data and identification of information are sine qua non for modern digital information services.
Digital information is at the center of the new scientific endeavor and, if managed carefully, it may bridge scientists across disciplines. Scientists, clinicians, and the public need enabling tools to overcome barriers to communication of biomedical information. Biomedical information systems need to (1) interpret queries and the needs of users accurately, (2) identify, evaluate and combine all relevant information among a comprehensive set of sources, and (3) provide users the right information that they seek.
