Data f rom external (uncontrolled) sources can be problematic because (1) their logical data architecture can be different\, and (2) they can morph the ir architecture\, scope\, or definitions of the data which you receive w ithout telling you. Hence\, the need for a rigorous declaration of expe ctations in the agreement to establish that data flow and business relat ionship. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will focus upon data import\, and semantic data integration. \;\n \;\nMr. Scofield has spoken on these topics for over 14 years\, and will use numerous (painful) exampl es. \;\n \;\n About the Presenter \;\nMichael Scofield is an A ssistant Professor in Health Information Management at Loma Linda Univer sity in the Department of Health Information Management.
