Abstract

The implementation of a grid network to support large-scale epidemiology analysis (based on distributed medical data sources) and medical data sharing require medical data integration and semantic alignment. In this paper, we present the GINSENG (Global Initiative for Sentinel e-Health Network on Grid) network that federates existing Electronic Health Records through a rich metamodel (FedEHR), a semantic data model (SemEHR) and distributed query toolkits. A query interface based on the VIP platform, and available through the e-ginseng.org web portal helps medical end-users in the design of epidemiological studies and the retrieval of relevant medical data sets.
