AB For health care providers to share computing resources and medical
application programs across different sites, those applications must
share a common medical vocabulary. To construct a common vocabulary,
researchers must have an architecture that supports collaborative,
networked development. In this paper, we present a web-based server
architecture for the collaborative development of a medical vocabulary:
a system that provides network services in support of medical
applications that need a common, controlled medical terminology. The
server supports vocabulary browsing and editing and can respond to
direct programmatic queries about vocabulary terms. We have tested the
programmatic query-response capability of the vocabulary server with a
medical application that determines when patients who have HIV infection
may be eligible for certain clinical trials. Our emphasis in this paper
is not on the content of the vocabulary, but rather on the communication
protocol and the tools that enable collaborative improvement of the
vocabulary by any network-connected user.
