CSW has appointed 67 Bricks to build a Terminology Service to integrate with their product suite, including Case Notes, CSW’s leading electronic records management healthcare system.

CSW are a leading supplier of electronic records management to the Healthcare sector. When healthcare professionals are entering data or selecting options they need to use predefined terms for consistency. These terms are already defined within existing hierarchical terminologies. The Terminology Service will ensure that data entered or selected will match these pre-defined terms. Case Notes search will also be improved as it will utilise the Terminology Service to match related terms as well as direct keyword matches.

In different areas of healthcare and in different geographic regions distinct and separate terminologies are used. The Terminology Service will support this by allowing administrators to load local terminologies.

Dave Nurse, Technical Director at CSW, said: “We are continually looking for ways to improve our products. We needed a supplier to step in quickly to deliver a solution that would meet our clients’ needs. We felt 67 Bricks would be able to do this.”

“67 Bricks were engaged to do this work because of their experience in developing Healthcare software, and the technologies involved.”

Inigo is presenting at the XML Summer School in Oxford on the 23rd and 24th of July. His talks are entitled “Blueprint for an XML application” and “Automating the Recognition and Identification of Knowledge“. The former is an overview of all the aspects of designing and building an XML-based application, including architecture, the costs and benefits of XML, the choice of language to use, and the use of web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The latter is about extracting and managing knowledge from your existing content, using approaches including ontologies and automatic categorization, and taking advantage of the Microsoft Office XML file formats. It also covers the social issues of knowledge extraction, the limitations of automated systems and the alternatives to them.

The XML Summer School is a great place to learn about XML and its related technologies, and its speakers include some of the most knowledgeable XML experts in the world; such as Mike Kay, Norm Walsh, Bob DuCharme, Dan Connolly, and Jeni Tennison.
