Mária Bieliková - Pavol Návrat - Mária Smolárová

   In the paper we report on our results in the EMG-net INCO Copernicus project. We discuss different data representation formats used for collection and management of electromyography (EMG) data. Data representation is described in the context of the proposed multifunctional platform for EMG studies. The platform architecture consists of four layers: data collection, data analysis, learning and education. We concentrate on the data collection layer, which is realised by a set of software tools for collection of data about EMG examination cases (EMMA tool) and EMG normative data (NoDAM - Normative Data Manager and NoDAC - Normative Data Client tools).

Keywords: electromyographic studies, multifunctional platform, EMG data representation, EMG Markup Language, relational database, distributed data collection
