In real terms, this translates to:
- The removal of domain concepts from concrete software and database models, into independently managed, standardised vocabularies and domain-specific models.
- Re-engineering the software and database as a knowledge representation (KR) system architecture, designed to process information by using externally supplied domain definitions…’
Beal is project leader of the Good Electronic Health Record (GEHR)”
