In this article, we describe an infrastructure enabling archetype-based semantic interoperability of Web Service messages exchanged in the health care domain. We annotate the Web Service messages with the OWL representation of the archetypes. Then, by providing the ontology mapping between the archetypes, we show that the interoperability of the Web Service message instances can be achieved aut...

We propose novel machine learning methods for exploring the domain of music performance praxis. Based on simple measurements of timing and intensity in 12 recordings of a Schubert piano piece, short performance sequences are fed into a SOM algorithm in order to calculate ‘performance archetypes’. The archetypes are labeled with letters and approximate string matching done by an evolutionary alg...

Health information systems (HISs) hold the promise to transform health care; however, their adoption is challenged. We have developed the Clinical Adoption Meta-Model (CAMM) to help describe processes and possible challenges with clinical adoption. The CAMM, developed through an action research study to evaluate a provincial HIS, is a temporal model with four dimensions: availability, use, beha...

Semantic interoperability and secondary use of data are important informatics challenges in modern healthcare. Connected Digital Health Denmark is investigating if the openEHR reference model, archetypes and templates could be used for representing and exchanging clinical content specification and could become a candidate for a national logical infrastructure for semantic interoperability. The ...

Al-Quds has always enjoyed a special standing worldwide for either its historic and civilized position, or geographically strategic location in the center of Arab region Old-World continents. Due to importance, issues were paid attention on global arena by major countries international institutes, particularly United Nations institutes. This study addresses five main claims: 1) most prominent U...

BACKGROUND Providing scalable clinical decision support (CDS) across institutions that use different electronic health record (EHR) systems has been a challenge for medical informatics researchers. The lack of commonly shared EHR models and terminology bindings has been recognised as a major barrier to sharing CDS content among different organisations. The openEHR Guideline Definition Language ...

The PropeR project studies the effect of Decision Support in an Electronic Health Record system (EHR) on the quality of care. One of the applications supports a multidisciplinary primary care team rehabilitating stroke patients in their home environment. This project required an EHR system that could handle information of multiple disciplines and multiple, distributed data sources. It should al...

This chapter surveys key concepts in convex duality theory and their application to the analysis and numerical solution of problem archetypes in imaging.
