Abstract

Current World-Wide Web technologies concentrate on presenting documents to human readers. Although HTML identifies structures within a document, it does not allow the semantic content of document sections to be specified explicitly. We investigate a small extension to HTML which allows parts of a document to be mapped onto an underlying database schema. This allows automatic identification and extraction of key information from a web using standard database techniques. Such “lightweight” databases may span servers, with searches being performed at client- or server-side. We have applied this approach to generating “flattened” versions of hypertext documents suitable for printing.

An intranet database for pacemaker patients
1997, International Journal of Medical Informatics
A database system, incorporating smartcard technologies, was designed to hold the personal and pacing details of pacemaker patients, who attended a clinic at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH), Brighton, UK. Following an initial period of a 12 month clinical trial, with the database running on a standalone personal computer, the Pacemaker Patient Database has been redesigned and implemented as an intranet-based system. This paper describes the issues relating to the development of the new prototype system and identifies the design principles for intranet-based electronic health care (EHCR) record database systems.
