Semantic Interoperability between Health Communication Standards through Formal Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper shortly analyses the HL7 communication standards for resolving the gap between them by developing a set of ontologies reflecting the concepts and relationships which is exemplified with the incompatible HL7 versions 2.x and 3. Bridging between the different ontologies is performed by introducing a reference ontology to which a mapping is defined. The paper discusses problems and solutions which appeared during the development process.

Establishing Semantic Interoperability between HL7 v2.x and V3: A Communication Standards Ontology (CSO)
Different communication standards in healthcare esp. HL7 version 2.x [1] and v3 [2] lack interand intra-family compatibility. Bridging between those to establish semantic interoperability using a formal ontology as a mediator in a mapping process [3] has demonstrated that both communication standards have in principle the same underlying architecture. This paper shortly analyses this structure ...
متن کاملTowards Ontology Interoperability through Conceptual Groundings
The widespread use of ontologies raises the need to resolve heterogeneities between distinct conceptualisations in order to support interoperability. The aim of ontology mapping is, to establish formal relations between a set of knowledge entities which represent the same or a similar meaning in distinct ontologies. Whereas the symbolic approach of established SW representation standards – base...
متن کاملExploitation of ontologies for the management of clinical archetypes in ArchMS
An archetype is a formal model of a domain concept, expressed as a set of constraints based on a reference model and used in a particular domain. In clinical domains, an archetype is defined as a formal model of a clinical concept. Archetypes are considered by many researchers a fundamental tool for the achievement of semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records. To date, differen...
متن کاملTowards Supporting Interoperability in e-Invoicing Based on Semantic Web Technologies
Since the use of electronic invoicing in business transactions was approved by the EU back in 2002, its application in Europe has grown considerably. However, despite the existence of standards like EDIFACT or UBL, widespread take up of electronic invoicing has been hindered by the enormous heterogeneity of proprietary solutions. In this chapter, the authors present an approach towards addressi...
متن کاملXS2OWL: A Formal Model and a System for Enabling XML Schema Applications to Interoperate with OWL-DL Domain Knowledge and Semantic Web Tools
The domination of XML in the Internet for data exchange has led to the development of standards with XML Schema syntax for several application domains. Advanced semantic support, provided by domain ontologies and semantic Web tools like logic-based reasoners, is still very useful for many applications. In order to provide it, interoperability between XML Schema and OWL is necessary so that XML ...
