Methods: stores gathered interviews to patients and their relatives centralized database. In order make these openly available, we mapped fields database terms from ontology domain. By means Web service, uses defined mappings answer remote queries written terminology ontology. addition, is able use as reference query sources integrated manner. Results: Our 1) allows remotely access 2) makes it possible retrieve Conclusion: study multifactorial diseases such requires large amount that need be compiled, stored analyzed, which new must extracted. Reusing other would provide great benefits. Information Communication Technologies can contribute significantly task thanks systems presently proposed one.
