Dear Thomas Thank you very much for your response, please see below

The whole system is a GRID application supported by the Globus Toolkit version 4.0. Maybe it was not clear in my last email but i was more concerned with the back-end part. That is, the technology used to store the EHR. I am more inclined to use a database rather than individual XML files. So, the EHR packages (demographics, composition, folders, etc) will be handled at the database level and the individual datasets (imaging, electrophysiology, etc) will be handled by services of the GRID middleware that unify the storage nodes. It would be interesting to have a look at the Java and .NET source but i can not find it in the web part of svn (at least by looking under the /app directory )...Any further directions on this? >> 2.

I would like to thank you for your answers in my questions 1,3,4 of the previous email. This was all very clear.
