Re: Propose an HL7 work group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability?

Yes, we screened this CPR and other existing ontology in medical field 
some months ago. There are couple of valuable effort and this is the 
reason why -am convinced, the best we can do is not to develop another 
ontology, but to re-use existing ones. Of course we need a deep 
discussions to have a useful one. Obviously single ontology can cover the 
medical domain, and that's why  maybe the best is to make a kind of 
scalable schema.
It's a pity we can't attend the discussions of tomorrow 11am as the time 
here in Europe will be out-of-office period but we will try to catch up 
and follow this discussions, and will contribute as we can.

By looking at the wiki history
https://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?title=HCLS/POMROntology&action=history

I would guess that it was Chimezie Ogbuji (copied).  It would be great 
to have his input on this also.  He developed the ontology that was used 
for some work at the Cleveland Clinic.
