About 80% of healthcare data are narrative text and therefore difficult to interpret by machine. We need to produce more structured data. |

We simply describe the structure of the XML documents by a reference document, document type definition, or XML schema, and the author can immediately start to enter and change XML structured data using a Web browser. |
