چکیده

In this paper the authors propose and describe a Resource Description Framework (RDF)-based mediator designed to solve the health data interoperability problem that exists among heterogeneous health information systems (e.g., Electronic Health Records). The RDF-based mediator framework has three main components: (1) the Synonym Dictionary (SD) that can be used to map metadata semantics, (2) the CXTR module that can translate source XML-based health documents into RDF-XML format, and (3) the CRTX module that can translate an RDF-XML document into a target XML-based health document. The proposed mediator is expected to make health information exchange more efficient.

Ontology Mapping and SPARQL Rewriting for Querying Federated RDF Data Sources - (Short Paper)

The web of data consists of distributed, diverse (in terms of schema adopted), and large RDF datasets. In this paper we present a SPARQL query rewriting method which can be used to achieve interoperability in semantic information retrieval and/or knowledge discovery processes over interconnected RDF data sources. Formal mappings between different overlapping ontologies are exploited in order to...

Identification and Composition of Metadata for Cooperative Information Systems Illustration on the health information systems

Networked health organizations require cooperative Information Systems (IS) to provide different information services. These services contribute to improving the quality of care and to reducing costs. Furthermore, they improve processes for both care delivery and public health. These services require the merging of knowledge from multiple health sub-domains (pathologies and drugs, for instance)...

Querying clinical data in HL7 RIM based relational model with morph-RDB

BACKGROUND Semantic interoperability is essential when carrying out post-genomic clinical trials where several institutions collaborate, since researchers and developers need to have an integrated view and access to heterogeneous data sources. One possible approach to accommodate this need is to use RDB2RDF systems that provide RDF datasets as the unified view. These RDF datasets may be materia...

RDF and Topic Maps Interoperability in Practice

This demo will show a practical approach to interoperability between RDF and Topic Maps, based on the RTM vocabulary for mapping RDF data to Topic Maps. The demo will use the freely downloadable (registration required) Omnigator topic map browser. We will take an RDF file containing RDF data in the FOAF vocabulary [6] and show how this can be converted to a topic map, then browse the topic map ...
