Today's clinical information systems
require efficient terminological tools. These tools must store, convey and
cross-reference the content of multiple emerging standardized terminologies
while at the same time support local variability.
ConSeNt is a semantic network terminology environment that can reconcile
coexistence of data elements from various data sources while maintaining
comprehensive data integrity. ConSeNt's operational rules can be incorporated
into user-friendly and time-responsive interfaces to facilitate maintenance
tasks and enhanced utilization of the source terminologies.
