“…Also some studies have been conducted on encyclopedias. Among them are the study by Ginneken et al for planning and implementing an electronic encyclopedia called “diagnostic encyclopedia workstation” for personal computers ( 11 ), the study by Kubiszewski et al for knowing about the credibility of Internet encyclopedias ( 12 ), the study by Helena Dryzek for studying the power of searching for the vocabulary items in the electronic version of encyclopedia of occupational health and safety compared with its printed version ( 13 ). And among the existing web-based encyclopedias, one can name proteopedia as a collaborative three-dimensional web-based encyclopedia about protein, nucleic acid, and other bimolecular structures ( 14 , 15 ), ENCODE or the encyclopedia of DNA elements ( 16 , 17 ), the online AskDrWiki encyclopedia ( 18 ), Ganfyd ( 19 ) and Radiopedia ( 20 ).…”

Introduction:Encyclopedias and their compilation have become so prevalent as a valid cultural medium in the world. The daily development of computer industry and the expansion of various sciences have made indispensable the compilation of electronic, specialized encyclopedias, especially the web-based ones.Materials and Methods:This is an applied-developmental study conducted in 2014. First, the main terms in the field of medical informatics were gathered using MeSH Online 2014 and the supplementary terms of each were determined, and then the tree diagram of the terms was drawn based on their relationship in MeSH. Based on the studies done by the researchers, the tree diagram of the encyclopedia was drawn with respect to the existing areas in this field, and the terms gathered were put in related domains.Findings:In MeSH, 75 preferred terms together with 249 supplementary ones were indexed. One of the informatics’ sub-branches is biomedical informatics and health which itself consists of three sub-divisions of bioinformatics, clinical informatics, and health informatics. Medical informatics which is a subdivision of clinical informatics has developed from the three fields of medical sciences, management and social sciences, and computational sciences and mathematics.Results and Discussion:Medical Informatics is created of confluence and fusion and applications of the three major scientific branches include health and biological sciences, social sciences and management sciences, computing and mathematical sciences, and according to that the structure of MeSH is weak for future development of Encyclopedia of Medical Informatics.

The Diagnostic Encyclopedia Workstation (DEW) is a computer system that provides completely integrated pictorial and textual information as reference knowledge in the field of ovarian pathology. Thse textual component comprises information per diagnosis such as descriptions of macroscopic and microscopic images, clinical signs, and prognosis. In addition, the system offers lists of differential diagnoses and criteria to differentiate among them. The present study evaluates to what extent the system influences the diagnostic process in efficiency and outcome. Therefore, two groups of six pathologists each, covering a wide spectrum of experience in ovarian pathology, participated in the evaluation of the DEW. The quality of the resulting diagnoses was statistically analyzed with the Wilcoxon rank sum test with respect to five different viewpoints: classification, morphology, clinical consequences, duration of diagnostic process, and consensus among the participants. The results are discussed and it is concluded lthat classification and morphology showed better results when books were used. The evaluation experiment was, however, very rigid and negatively biased with respect to the DEW systelm. Positive aspects of the encyclopedia are the easy access to diagnostic and differential diagnostic information and the large set of illustrations. Insight is acquired with respect to existing bottlenecks and how they may be overcome. HUM PATHOL 21:989-997.
