1. A computer program product located to one or more storage media devices usable to perform integration of free text with coded data, said computer program product comprising instructions executable by a computer to perform the functions of:
- accessing a database of structured data, the structured data comprising a set of data tuples wherein is contained information according to a coded data format;
accessing a source of free text, the free text being relatable to the data tuples of the structured data;
interpreting the free text to produce a set of construed data reflecting at least one relational fact conveyed in the free text, each construed datum relatable to a data tuple of the structured data; and
integrating the produced data with the data tuples of the structured data, said integrating producing integrated data.
