A few papers in this special issue in the Journal of Biomedical
Informatics (translating standards into practice) may be relevant for
this discussion:

Helena, Kirsten, and Ratnesh - please fill the above poll in to avoid
misunderstanding about times.

 

BTW, I also submitted a feature request to Doodle to make
timezone-support default enabled (opt out instead of opt in).

 

Cheers,

Scott

Ups, I must have missed the "enable time zone support", could you create
a new poll with time zone enabled, please, Scott?

 

So far, only me and Kerstin responded to the doodle poll so not too much
harm done. 

(@Kerstin, the default time zone was irish, by the way)

 

Best, 

Lena

Hi Helena,

 

Good initiative all.

 

Would you please create a doodle with the timezone option (it's easy to
miss unfortunately)?

 

Also unfortunate that, last I checked, Doodle doesn't let you edit that
config option in but requires you to create an entirely new doodle.

 

Cheers,

Scott

 

n.b. Doodle should make timezones the default! The current design has
caused a lot of confusion and wasted time with international
collaborators.

Hi All,

 

There seems to be a lot of interest in brainstorming about this.

How about doing an ad hoc call for this?

 

I've set up a doodle pole so that we can try to agree on a date next
week: http://doodle.com/g5vimt6gyshv77fd

 

We can use W3C systems, I presume, right, Eric?

Kind Regards ,

Hi Peter and All,

 

I think entities that are part of Version 3 XML coreSchemas (e.g,
Vocabulary ) can be represented in OWL or DL, however problem is with
local models (e.g., RMIM) that are context-specific (i.e., time, place,
event dependent information).  One observation in the article below:
"One major characteristic of this Extensional logic is that "classes
must be extended by the authors of the model.".  It is also the case
with the Intensional logic. For example, class-subclass relation needs
to be explicitly stated here as well, with a feature of inference that
may entail  additional relations. I think one of the main differences
between closed-world UML/object-oriented paradigm and open-world
(ontologies) is use of properties.   An ontology property appears, at a
first glance, to be the same as the UML association or attribute.
However, properties in an ontology are first-class modelling elements,
while the UML association or attribute is attached to UML classes where
they are described. This means the UML association or attribute cannot
exist in isolation or as a self-describing entity defining relationships
such as inheritance. More precisely, in an ontology a relation can exist
without specifying any classes to which it might relate.  Some key
benefits that I see of using Semantic Web for the HL7 standard:  

 

(1 ) Semantic Web technologies as a "common medium" where the upper
layer (Information Model or terminologies in OWL) and lower layer (data
in RDF) can be engaged with each other during the

integration process. Without the need of transformation (or mediation)
between them, as is the case with UML-XML based systems.

(2)  The mutual use of Semantic Web technologies as a "common medium"
between upper and lower layers provide computable semantics of the
information models (as ontologies), improving

the reuse and overall data integration.

 

There are other benefits (and limitations as well) but that require long
discussion.

 

Regards,

Ratnesh

Just did a white paper on it.  I don't think it's a good idea in general
to put clinical models all in OWL or DL at all. 
That part is best left to the SNOMED vocabulary part. 

Here is a very recent paper on how to mix the Extensional and
Intensional parts of the models according to how HL7 V3 does it and how
Kaiser does it.

Great topic! I can imagine a potential white paper from this group. 

Besides technology, factors to consider might include: flexibility,
implementation cost, return on investments, path to migration etc.

Best regards,

Simon

I would say Yes -- particularly since there is now an effort to
represent some of newest HL7 standards -- FHIR resource definitions in
particular -- using SW approaches...and the BRIDG OWL representation
will almost certainly benefit from this effort.

Subject: FDA: seeks input on Study Data Exchange Standards

FDA seeks "input from industry, technology vendors, and other members of
the public regarding the advantages and disadvantages of current and
emerging open, consensus-based standards for the exchange of regulated
study data. "

In the annoncement for a meeting 5 November FDA ask for responses,
before 5 October, on questions such as "- What are the advantages and
disadvantages of HL7 v3 and CDISC ODM?"

And, interestingly, they also ask: "- Are there other open data exchange
standards that should be evaluated?"

Is this an opportunity for a semantic web based proposal?
