PyMedTermino: an open-source generic API for advanced terminology services
نویسندگان
چکیده
The integration of terminologies is still a challenging problem in medical informatics research and software applications, due to the high number of heterogeneous terminologies. In this paper, we present a generic API (Application Programming Interface) for a multi-terminology multilingual terminology service, and PyMedTermino, its open-source implementation in Python with 5 terminological resources (ICD10, SNOMED CT, MedDRA, CDF, VCM iconic language) and the UMLS compendium. This service has been designed for research and educational purpose. It offers various advanced functionalities rarely present in terminology services.

This paper presents an open protocol for interoperability across multi-vendor programmable smart cards. It allows exposition of on-card storage and cryptographic services to host applications in a unified, card-independent way. Its design, inspired by the standardization of on-card Java language and cryptographic API, has been kept as generic and modular as possible. The protocol security model...
متن کاملUsing JPOX to Develop a Persistence API for Generic Objects
JPOX is an open source project that tries to be the reference between API JDO (Java Data Objects) implementations. Using JDO specifications, Java objects can be persisted automatically, independent of database management system. However, JDO builds the automatic persistence using object type definitions (classes). In this way, specifics query and update methods must be created for each type of ...
