Words and meaning

Biomedical Informatics:Biomedical informatics is a discipline related to bioinformatics and has roots in medical informatics or health care informatics. It studies the use of information technology and advanced research computing in the practice of biomedical sciences and medicine.

Electronic Health Record:An electronic health record (EHR) is a distributed personal health record in digital format. The EHR provides secure, real-time, patient-centric information to aid clinical decision-making by providing access to a patient's health information at the point of care. An EHR is typically accessed on a computer or over a network. It may be made up of health information from many locations and/or sources, including electronic medical records (EMRs)

Framework:A framework provides to the participants a guideline and special tools to work like an access to the bases. In SHARE concern, the e-Health Grid Framework provides a complete conceptual context for roadmap development serves to link ethical, legal, social and economic issues, technology strands and supports integration to an effective and complete roadmap at completion of the project.

Interoperability: Interoperability is connecting people, data and diverse systems. The term can be defined in a technical way or in a broad way, taking into account social, political and organizational factors. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) defines interoperability as: the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.

Knowledge Base:A knowledge base (or knowledgebase; abbreviated KB, kb or ?) is a special kind of database for knowledge management. It provides the means for the computerized collection, organization, and retrieval of knowledge. Just as it has become standard practice to write database as one word it is increasingly common in computer science to write knowledgebase as one word (an interim approach was to write the term with a hyphen).

Open Source:An open source is a set of principles and practices that promote access to the production and design process for various goods, products, resources and technical conclusions or advice. The term is most commonly applied to the source code of software that is made available to the general public with relaxed or non-existent intellectual property restrictions. This allows users to create user-generated software content through incremental individual effort or through collaboration.

Roadmap:A roadmap represents a guideline which is necessary to follow during the entire project.

Workpackage: A Workpackage is a group of people or teams working together on a specific topic.
