  1. Developing an XML based Intermediate Languagewith Application to the Health Care Domain Anne I. Mannette-Wright May 5, 2006

  2. Agenda • What is my topic? • Why is it important? • Current status • Next steps until July 8th 2

  3. Topic Idea • Pattern idea of using an “Intermediate Language” (IL) • Linguistic • Computing • Currency • XML is the “meta” IL of the WWW • But….XML Schemas are different for different documents • Need to write an XSLT program for every source to target XML Schema transformation 3

  4. Topic Idea • Use XSLT (or some other mechanism) for IL • Apply to domain of medical data 4

  5. Why is it Important? • Elimination of point-to-point transformations that currently have to be done in the document processing/exchange domain. • Further increase the reuse of XML documents by vastly reducing the effort, time and cost to transform one document structured using one XML schema to another XML document using a different XML schema. • Future application of this research to other domains other than the health care industry. 5

  6. Work already done • Pattern idea – found it existed • Transformation of XML documents • found a number of methods • All methods at direct transformation level; none are N to M • Medical data transformation • Electronic Healthcare record (HER) standards are currently under development • Health Level 7 (HL7) appears to be the “leading” standard • HL7 standard does not address the medical data transformation problem 6

  7. Work Planned: Now to July 8th • Look at lower level transformation method(s) using XSLT • Apply to standardized IL • Uses in medical data transformation • Where and what problems can it solve 7
