RDF Implementation of Clinical Trial Data Standards
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical trials pose increasing challenges to sponsors and regulators in terms of execution complexity, timing constraints, risk management, and quality of scientific output. We show how the systematic use of clinical trial data standards, combined with the application of model driven semantic technology within the context of a metadata registry can provide a radical but more effective way to start addressing these challenges. This approach has been implemented and deployed as a validated production system within a large pharmaceutical company.

متن کاملRepresenting Clinical Knowledge in Oral Medicine Using Ontologies
How can information technology be used to model and handle clinical knowledge in everyday work so that clinicians can more systematically learn from collected clinical data? Ontology is a crucial element in answering this question. Based on nearly ten years of clinical experience, fundamental requirements of an ontology for oral medicine are presented. The use of the proposed W3C standards RDF ...
