Abstract
This paper proposes an approach for transferring clinical information between heterogeneous hospital database systems, using the XML standards and JXTA API in P2P networks. In this study, clinical information is transferred between two hospital database systems, which are semantically similar, but have different schema representations. The transferring is carried out through an intermediate XML data file as the bridge between these two data sources. The mapping is via two XML schemas, one from the source hospital to the intermediate data file, another is from the intermediate to the destination hospital. The approach is developed using Java programming language and JXTA API.
