Dependencies

qewd-content-store assumes that you've already installed QEWD

Installing

   npm install qewd-content-store

Then, assuming you've installed QEWD under the ~/qewd directory, install the authoring application using:

   cd ~/qewd/www
   mkdir qewd-content-store
   cp ~/qewd/node_modules/qewd-content-store/www/* ~/qewd/www/qewd-content-store

What is qewd-content-store?

qewd-content-store allows you to create sets of phrases or terminologies that can optionally contain triplets of information:

• a subject
• optionally, a value
• optionally, a unit

Each of these is defined during authoring by using a specific delimiter. By default these are:

~This is the subject~ |This is a value| {This is a unit}

For example:

~Shoulder pain~ on |right| {side}

The content store can contain one or more store names. The store names are up to you.

Within each store name, you can define phrases and tags:

• a phrase can have one or more tags
• a tag can have one or more phrases associated with it

The number, structure and content of phrases and tags is up to you.

Purpose of qewd-content-store

The purpose of qewd-content-store is to create sets of semi-structured text that can be assigned to entities within an application (eg phrases that describe symptoms, observations and/or treatment of patients). The content store contains pre-parsed versions of each phrase and therefore knows the associated subject, value and/or unit within that phrase, each of which can then be assigned against the target entity (eg a patient).

As a result, what appear to be straightforward unstructured phrases saved against an entity can be used as searchable, analysable data.

Authoring Phrases

Start the Authoring application. This is a QEWD browser-based application, invoked using the URL:

  http://xx.xx.xx.xx:{port}/qewd-content-store/index.html

By default, log in with any username, and use the QEWD management password as the password.

You can then add a new store name and begin defining tags and phrases
