Enhanced Form-Based SPARQL Builder: Effortless Access to Temporal Medical Data for Users Without Technology Knowledge

Accessing complex medical data, especially temporal information, presents a significant challenge for non-technical users, including healthcare professionals not versed in technology or query languages like SPARQL. This paper introduces an enhanced form-based SPARQL query builder that offers effortless access to temporal medical data. The described system simplifies constructing SPARQL queries into an intuitive, form-driven interface that abstracts and hides the technical complexities. Novel enhancement is primarily the user's ability to filter and order data with column constraints. By focusing on usability, the system empowers users to retrieve temporal medical information without needing in-depth knowledge of database systems or SPARQL syntax. We evaluate the system's usability and performance by testing it with non-technical healthcare professionals. Results demonstrate that users can easily navigate the interface, significantly reduce the time spent querying the database, and effectively retrieve data. This approach benefits from FAIR data principles and enhances data reusability in healthcare settings for reaching accuracy and precision for follow-up analysis in evidence-based research, facilitating better decision-making that can improve future patient outcomes.
