RE: [HCLS-ACPP] July 18 Tcon Minutes and "use of rules with ontology in semantic web" tutorial session in next Tcon on July 25

Hi, Vipul

Thanks so much for your paper.  It provides an ideal test case for ACPP to 
work on :)  I will try to apply our ACPP ontology and develop some rules 
accordingly to see if our proposed ACPP ontology is adequate to represent 
the knowledge outlined in your paper. 

You are welcome to join our discussion next Tuesday!

Helen

Helen,
 
Attached with this e-mail is an AMIA submission which discusses the use of 
ontologies and rules in the context of representing a diabetes guideline.
 
Pending acceptance at AMIA 2006, the paper can be referenced as a Tech 
Report, CIRD, Partners HealthCare, Tech Report No. CIRD-20060322-01.
 
We propose that introducing ontologies in the context of rules in clinical 
guideline context has a more significant impact on knowledge change and
Maintenance and total cost of ownership of rule bases as opposed to 
execution performance.
 
Look forward to comments and feedback..
 
Cheers,

in semantic web" tutorial session in next Tcon on July 25
 

Dear All 

Here is the minutes of our Tcon on July 18 

http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/ACPPTaskForce/Telecons/july18_2006 

At ACPP, we recognize the need to use rules when representing medical and 
operational knowledge in adaptable clinical protocols and pathways.  Not 
all facts and relationship can be adequately represented in OWL ontology, 
especially when taking into consideration of decidability and efficiency 
of reasoning.   

In our next Tcon, Chimezie will present a tutorial on using rules with 
ontology and share his experiences with various semantic web reasoners. 
Please join us for the discussion on July 25, 1-2pm. 

Kind regards. 

Helen
