What does 3M HDD have to do with data interoperability?

The 3M HDD is a controlled medical vocabulary server. It helps to translate and integrate health care data from independent, disparate systems, resulting in a road map to the content and structure of patient data. This allows coded, computable data to be access—and understood—by applications and users in real-time.
