Abstract :
The role of information and knowledge in medical informatics is discussed and expert system technology is examined in that context. The scope of computer-based applications in medicine is presented. This is followed by a review of the current state of the art. It is shown how the information- and knowledge-oriented applications are merging. Some of the key concepts in both information and knowledge processing are discussed in the context of medical computing
