HL7 XML example - second attempt / revision

So, I finally got the chunk of time to do the HL7 primer usecase justice. 
I suffered some data loss on my latop and had to redo alot of earlier 
work.  No worries, I got several things done which I wanted to address to 
finish this off:

- Move the documentation of the medical record target ontology off ESW to a permanent namespace document
- A namespace document which has as  GRDDL result the OWL ontology itself
- Better references to literature and supporting ontologies
- Compliance with the community of Ontology of Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) [1] as well as DOLCE [2]
- Go through a second review of the target ontology (added annotations, ..)
- Flesh out the GRDDL transform to cover as much of the input HL7 document as possible

The human/machine readable documentation of the medical record ontology is 
available from the namespace URL

   http://purl.org/cpr/0.5#

This only documents the cpr:* terms and a handful of dependent terms.  The 
*full* documentation is available from

   http://purl.org/cpr/html/full

So, we can either host the ontology (also attached) in the primer webspace 
or just point to the permanent PURL.

The attached snippets were generated by *running* the instance through a 
4Suite / RDFLib pipeline (via Bash and pipes) so it would be a shock if 
they weren't both well-formed and reproducable by any other XML-compliant 
processor.

References to SNOMED-CT are hard to come by as it is a proprietary (but 
widely used) clinical terminology.  At best their web site (linked from 
the current draft) is the most consistent URL.  Hopefully, this changes 
some day soon =)

Attached:

   - hl7-sample.xml        The source HL7 CDA [4] sample document
   - hl7-sample.rdf        RDF/XML GRDDL result
   - hl7-sample.turtle     (human-readable) Turtle GRDDL result
   - hl7-rim-to-pomr.xslt  (The GRDDL transform itself)
   - problem-oriented-medical-record.owl (the ontology itself)

Perhaps of interest to the WG, the HTML namespace document for the 
ontology was generated with a program [4] which can do this for any other 
OWL document.  It makes for a quick and dirty way to generate highly 
accessible ontology namespace documents.

The Turtle snippets need to be changed to reflect the changes:
