Exploitable results GALEN: generalised architecture for language encyclopaedias and nomenclature in medicine The GALEN project developed practical tools and techniques for managing medical language and terminology. It provided a foundation on which to build the next generation of clinical information and electronic patient record systems-enabling technologies to allow clinical information to be captured, represented, manipulated, and displayed. GALEN has produced 6 kinds of products: terminology servers, to manipulate terminology, coding systems and medical language using models of clinical concepts; the servers perform transformation between different coding systems and database schemata; models of medical concepts and terminology; the Core Model is built in a formally sound language, along with associate lexicons, mapping existing coding systems and other auxiliary information; methodologies and tools for the co-operative development and maintenance of the Core model; clinical user interfaces and medical record systems to produce efficient data entry and information retrieval systems for direct use by clinicians; classification managers, which provide new tools for developers of coding and classification systems; authoring tools for creating and maintaining decision support systems. Six families of applications are expected to make use of the GALEN terminology server and Core Model: medical records, clinical user interfaces and clinical information systems; natural language understanding and translation systems; clinical decision support systems; management of, and conversion amongst, coding and classification schemes; bibliographic retrieval; information retrieval, intelligent querying and epidemiological analysis.
