John (cc'ing the GRDDL WG list), As per our last conversation, I was hoping if you can help us with the "killer" GRDDL use-case you were talking about earlier. In particular, the use-case I believe has a patient going to the doctor twice, and so filling out two different HL7 CDA documents, both in XML. On his first visit, he records that he is allergic to a particular family of drugs. On the second visit, he forgets that he is allergic to this family of drugs, and so his second HL7 CDA document does not record this. A doctor prescribes him a drug on the second visit, unknowingly a drug that is a subclass of the family of drugs the patient is allergic to by virtue of its properties. Yet the hospital can automatically catch this error and save the patient's life by converting both HL7 documents via GRDDL to RDF, and merging them. Therefore the old data about the patient being allergic is not lost, but discovered. Furthermore, because the family of drugs is kept in an ontology, some sort of simple OWL entailment can show the drug the doctor prescribed is a subclass of the drug the patient said they were allergic to. John - this piece would be a rewrite of piece of the Primer Chime already wrote. I'm happy to write the prose if you can produce another HL7 document that describes this sort of use-case, and feel free to modify anything , including data files, (all files are linked from the primer): http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/doc29/primer.html#hl7 -- -harry Harry Halpin, University of Edinburgh http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin 6B522426
