Taxonomy Adds Value to Content
If you have been a reader for anytime at all, you know by now that I find taxonomies of alternate topics very intriguing, and I wasn't disappointed by this latest find.
Are You Ready?
With the ICD-10 coding classification transition countdown seemingly going faster, how ready are providers for the implementation? A survey by Aloft Group, a Newburyport, Massachusetts healthcare branding and marketing firm, sheds some light on just that.
Technology in the Sky
Algebraix Data Corporation announced its SPARQL Server RDF database successfully executed all 17 of its queries on the SP2 benchmark up to one billion triples on one computer node. This computationally complex testing exceeds all others before it.
Ensuring Compliance
The impending ICD-10 coding classification transition is a challenge for not just hospitals and physicians, but other healthcare providers are preparing for this "new world" with training.
Application Blocks Aid Customization
Microsoft recently released Enterprise Library (EL) 6.0 with a semantic logging application block. Enterprise Library has a long history of providing architectural guidance, recommended practices, and reusable components to help developers, architects, and IT professionals efficiently build line-of-business (LOB) systems.
Emotional Intelligence
Defining our own emotions is difficult enough, but now Google is working on a semantic natural language technology that will read emotions and meaning from your internet history so your query returns a dynamic and comprehensive result. Search is no longer about just keywords.
Finding Family
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to family history and genealogy. Indexing massive amounts of data provides FamilySearch.org the advantage when it comes to searching genealogical records online by name, date and location. Currently there are 2.4 million rolls of microfilm in their vault undergoing digital conversation, and that doesn't include new digital images that are being collected online.
