Next-generation patients are far from being peripheral to health-care. They are central to understanding the effectiveness and efficiency of services and how they can be improved. Today a lot of patients are used to reviewing local health services on-line but this social information is just stored in natural language text and it is not machine-accessible and machine-processable. To distil knowledge...
In health informatics there is no such mechanism of binding healthcare service providers and requesters that provide publish and retrieval of healthcare services. Healthcare web services should be published with formalized semantic descriptions in a structured and uniform way, to automate healthcare service discovery. The use of semantic web technologies and service oriented computing for efficient...
In this paper, we apply semantic web-based technologies to integrate heterogeneous data from medical information system, and design a heterogeneous data integration model, which combines Mediator/Wrapper framework with ontology, using OGSA-DAI as data accessing middleware. Mediator provides uniform query interface, decomposes user queries based on the mapping relations between global ontology and...
Based on semantic Web and ontology, a new water conservancy information system named is proposed for the semantic linking and inference of water conservancy information, involving business requirements, integration methods and system architecture of the system. Compared to current water conservancy systems, this system supports multi-dimensional information association of conceptions or objects, inference...
The domain specific nature of biosignal storage formats, along with the lack of support for metadata in general purpose biosignal libraries, has hampered the easy interchange of biosignals between disciplines and their integration with physiological modelling software. Extensible Biosignal Metadata (XBM) is introduced as a standard framework to facilitate the sharing of information between and within...
Exchanging medical documents over healthcare networks is becoming a reality. This increases the need to effectively manage the growing amount of information for a single patient. Therefore, there is a current need to visualise electronic health records (EHRs) in a way that assist physicians with clinical tasks and medical decision-making. The new methods to visualise clinical information from EHRs...
The annotation and image markup project makes large distributed collections of medical images in cyberspace and hospital information systems accessible using an information model of image content and ontologies. Interest in applying semantic Web technologies to the life sciences continues to accelerate. Biomedical research is increasingly an online activity as scientists combine and explore different...
Since the 1990s many researchers have proposed frameworks for modelling clinical guidelines and protocols in a computer-interpretable and computer-executable format. Nowadays, the various guideline representation languages and related frameworks also need to address compatibility with healthcare information systems that aim to be interoperable on nation-wide and even international-levels. This paper...
