Abstract |
In this paper, we develop a descriptor based on binary ECG conversion system that supports the conversion of a binary ECG format into XML-based HL7 aECG for the interoperability of ECG. HL7 aECG is a XML based standard for interoperability of ECG waveform. For the conversion of variety of ECG formats, we propose a binary ECG description mechanism. In order to describe binary ECG more efficiently, we develop a XML-based Binary ECG Description (BED) Language. One of the powerful features of using the XML-based ECG Description mechanism is that ECG data can read from various formats without the modification of source code of conversion system, and consequently it reduces conversion system maintenance costs. |
