PROTEMPA architecture. PROTEMPA is a modular software library that implements an extension of the temporal abstraction method 40 for retrospective clinical data retrieval. The Abstraction Finder controls data processing and is supported by the Data Source, Knowledge Source, and Algorithm Source modules. Backends provide interfaces to specific data or knowledge stores. Arrows represent dependencies between modules. A PROTEMPA application is a program that calls the PROTEMPA library through a defined API.
