I don't how many terabytes that is but the short answer is a lot. I would also describe most of the data as being "dense". That is, it is largely text with relatively few binary images.
I don't think XML is a great tool for datamining so it will help neither Tim nor Camm Pacific but there is still the potential to make an individual's data available to others in real time. This could be a good thing. However, doing is hampered by the fact that you cannot pull the data from Medical Director by an external application call. I am not sure there is anyone at HCN who understands the potential that this provides but perhaps there is a techie somewhere down in the bowels who does. >That would be Microsoft's definition of 'defined' right? > > The market can be brutal. David P.S. I should add that MD can only produce XML data it cannot process it. -- "UFW. Deb does linux." SIP [EMAIL PROTECTED]
