Updating RHG's beginning taxonomy, and working togetherto create the broad XML DTD to accommodate the diverse data streams, Accessemployed its Data Harmony tools and personnel to rationalize and improve thedesign and functionality in both these areas. The result is a simple approachto comprehensive results for the online searcher. Access normalized thenumerous feeds for all of the data arriving from a wide variety of publishersand indexed it using the revised taxonomy.
Discussing this project Marjorie Hlava, Access president, observed, "Wehave thoroughly enjoyed working on this cutting edge health information portalwith the RHG team. They provide a unique multifaceted user interface thatallows for a very personalized experience. This required Access to develop anXML schema and taxonomy that lets users easily and accurately navigate the RHGWeb site. For these reasons, the data normalization required using specialproprietary conversion and metadata enhancement techniques."
"The challenges Revolution Health faced were substantial as we tried tointegrate medical content from more than a dozen editorial partners into anascent portal, and Access Innovations' depth of knowledge in datatransformation and taxonomy development were essential to our successfullaunch," said Randy Yanoshak, content systems product manager. "Each partneroffered distinct nuances in their data, and Access Innovations flexibly andexpertly adapted the Revolution Health schema and their own processes toensure a smooth integration."
