Interactive Visualization and Exploration of Time-oriented Clinical Data Using a Distributed Temporal-Abstraction Architecture

KNAVE-II is a system for visualization and exploration of large amounts of time-oriented clinical data and of multiple levels of clinically meaningful abstractions derivable from these data. KNAVE-II uses a distributed temporal-abstraction architecture that integrates a set of knowledge services, each interacting with a domain-specific knowledge source, a set of data-access services, each interacting with a clinical data source, and a computational service for deriving knowledge-based abstractions of the data.
