1. 1 Data Representation for EMG Case Collection and Management Mária Bieliková Pavol Návrat Mária Smolárová Slovak University of Technology Department of Computer Science and Engineering Ilkovičova 3, 812 19 Bratislava, Slovakia http://www.dcs.elf.stuba.sk/emg/

2. 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

3. 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

4. 23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 4 Collecting and managing EMG cases - concepts

5. 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 http://www.dcs.elf.stuba.sk/emg/

6. 23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 6 Relational model - whole picture

7. 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

8. 23-24 September 2000AAITM 2000, Varna, Bulgaria 8 EMG-ML Document Type Definition <!DOCTYPE emd [ <!ELEMENT PATIENT ((NAME| PATIENTID), BIRTHDATE, RACE, SEX)>.... <!ELEMENT EXAMINATION (HEAD, NONEMG, EMGDIAG?, FINALDIAG?, STRUCTURES, TESTS)>.... ]>
