This article on the Interactions datbase struck me as being similiar to the problem of delivering terminology to the desktop. Bascially an Authority, accepted by all, has to be respnsible for producing a server that all vendors can exploit/import into their own systems, then their delivery stratgey is propriety but the contents is still public and CONSISTENT. We are working on how to do this to engineer the introudcition of SNOMED CT is a similiar approach likely to be acceptable/sensible for drug interactions? thanks jon patrick Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
