Voogle is a simple, clean Google-like interface that can be used immediately with little or no training. It is used by clinicians and non-medical staff in a very adaptable and dynamic way. It uses Natural Language Queries that can be mapped to both File Manager as well as external databases. Natural language obviates the need for menu navigation and allows direct query of a piece of data or knowledge. This innovation uses an enhanced knowledge base that transcends traditional metadata, similar to Ontology Web Language (OWL) and Resource Description Framework (RDF). This knowledge base has the ability to adapt to each specific VA VistA database. Voogle performs custom activities like graphing and data visualization. http://www.audio.va.gov/mobilehealth/M4V/78-VOOGLE_embedded.m4v
