23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 2 Outline n basic concepts and functions n data representation u EMG data relational model u XML and EMG data n EMG case collection tool u EMMA (big sister of KATE) n conclusions
23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 3 Collecting and managing EMG cases - functions n storing, retrieving and comparing EMG cases n exchanging and distributing EMG cases (consensus exercises) n tracking condition of a patient by effective retrieving of EMG examinations for a particular patient at different times

23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 5 EMG data relational model n based on ECCO v. 3.2 n extensions proposed in User-5 specification n considering different versions (CodeTableVer attribute) n non-EMG info still mostly texts n

23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 7 XML and EMG data n EMG-ML - markup language for EMG data exchange n based on EMG data relational model n content u depends on the actual examination u is self describing (text) n data transmission is highly error-free n open for third party software processing
