Infomed - Cuba, an insider's view
This event took place on Monday 25 June 2007 at 15:30

Maykel Moya Infomed (Health Informatics Network), Havana, Cuba

Infomed is the telematic network of the Public Health Ministry of the Cuban Republic. A project of the CNICM (National Center for Medical Sciences Information) began 15 years ago with the goal of improving information services for the Cuban public health institutions and individuals. Today Infomed is Cuba's largest telco network: more than 100,000 users and more than 700 institutions (and growing) spread over the whole country are served 24x7 by Infomed.

The talk will cover some of Infomed's history, what specific services are available for users, the internals of the telco network and remarks about where Infomed is headed in the future.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
