For example, consider the information needs that arise when reviewing a peculiar lab test result or contemplating the ordering of a medication.

As self-contained project, however, usually involves the creation of a particular link. This may involve matching patient data items to web sites, creation of a web site, automating a query against some web resource, building an intelligent agent, or creating a resource.
