Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with the problem of designing of a conceptual framework for the construction of a flexible data warehouse that is adequate for accommodating multi-source data and selecting useful answers to queries, posted to a conflicting community of Patient-Record sources. We put forward a proposal to provide representations with that kind of functionality through flexible reasoning mechanisms for handling perception based descriptions and retrieving intentional answers. We start by positioning conceptual schema, data-warehouses with regard to this problem.
