Abstract

The Arden Syntax is a standard description syntax for modular medical knowledge. The purpose of the Arden Syntax is to allow the construction of medical knowledge bases out of elementary medical logic modules (MLMs) that may be contributed and shared by different institutions. The format of the input data is not defined in the Arden Syntax, but left to the user. Every input and output must be rewritten for the local data access definition before an MLM can be used. It is suggested that by using the Health Level Seven (HL7) interface definition to define the communication and data transfer between the MLMs and the medical data base the shareability of MLMs can be enhanced.
