Re: HL7 and FHIR

Wow. This is one area in which I have a vested interest as well. Within a couple of days I will be able to send a link to this list to a web site listing potential projects dealing with integrative care and smart personalized (health) care.

 I am participating in the European H2020 project named GATEKEEPER which is focused on smart personal healthcare. HL7 is a member of the project. We’re looking at combining the Web of Things, FHIR, semantic technologies and more in a variety of pilots.  FHIR is essential a means to use RESTful interfaces to access healthcare related data in a variety of formats, e.g. JSON-LD. There is a body of work on healthcare related ontologies.  Here is a pointer to FHIR by the UK’s NHS, and the overview from FHIR itself:

A major challenge is how to integrate heterogeneous data sources whilst avoiding a loss of valuable information due to differences in vocabularies, data quality, context and so forth.

Thanks for posting and welcome


I'm lurking on this list and I find the set of topics large and bewildering.
WATCH THIS SPACE!! 

> HL7 v3 can not be fully implemented with the current state of Object Databases.
Perhaps expound a little on how can AI KR solve this problem. some of us may have no idea what is HL7 , Please explain more
Thanks!!!!

I'm interested in HL7 and in particular FHIR. FHIR has an RDF/JSONLD representation, and the schema is represented as SHEX (amongst several other implementations, including JSON/JSON schema, XML/RelaxNG etc).I think this is a very interesting piece of work and I'm interested in collaborations.
Cheers!
