Where this comes from

Abstract

"Metadata" is the fundamental set of items in the organization of health-care information, at least in computer-based patient records. Computer-based patient records remain controversial, and thus, to a considerable extent, the truth of all assertions about these areas remains a matter of opinion. A set of opinions generated during 5 years of exclusive and intense work is presented.
