Abstract

The ADM (Aide au diagnostic Médical) project was started 15 years ago and was the first telematic project for physicians in France using the MINITEL terminal. The knowledge base contains information on more than 10 000 diseases from all pathological fields, using more than 100 000 signs or symptoms. The ADM system has two main functionalities for physicians: consultation of diseases descriptions and list of diseases containing one or more symptoms. The ADM knowledge base is supported by a relational database management system (DBMS ORACLE) and we developed a Web interface using the Perl language to produce HTML pages for the web server. We will describe our experience on redesigning a large existing medical knowledge base for diffusion on the web Internet.
