In this paper, we discuss general challenges in IDI, describe BioPortal's architecture and functionalities, and highlight encouraging evaluation results obtained from a controlled experiment that focused on analysis accuracy, task performance efficiency, user information satisfaction, system usability, usefulness, and ease of use. To support the surveillance and detection of infectious disease outbreaks by public health professionals, we design and implement the BioPortal system, a web-based IDI system that provides convenient access to distributed, cross-jurisdictional health data pertaining to several major infectious diseases including West Nile virus (WNV), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), and botulism.	./cache/cord-010406-uwt95kk8.txt	./txt/cord-010406-uwt95kk8.txt
