Differential processing of data streams based on protocols

Interoperability engine 502 includes a tagging engine 510 configured to perform semantic tagging and indexing of data. Tagging engine 510 therefore is configured to receive data, read metadata associated with the data, semantically scan the content of the data, and associate one or more tags with the data. Tagging engine 510 may therefore have access to hundreds, thousands, or even more possible tags. These tags may have been input by users, learned, pre-defined, generated by outside third-party mapping sources, and/or gathered from other components and/or data stores of the interaction system. For example, if the data is a chart for an entity, the tagging engine may be configured to read any metadata associated with the chart to determine which tags may be appropriate to associate with the chart. From the metadata, tagging engine 510 may determine that the chart is for a type of entity by reading metadata indicating that an author field is populated with the name of another particular type of entity. Tagging engine 510 may have access to other data to compare the analyzed metadata against (e.g., to identify that the author's name corresponds to Dr. Brown who is an oncologist). Other examples, of metadata that may be included in one or more fields include author, document type, creation time and date, last update time and date, upload time and data, geographic location, unique ID associated with the client or facility where the data originated, and other similar fields. The tags may be stored in association with the data (e.g., the chart) and/or may be stored independent from the data but include an identifier such that when searching tags the data may be capable of population.
