RE: Introduction(s) to HCLS IG

In response to Scott's request, and in an attempt to be consistent with the "Unified Ontology of Introductions to HCLSIG", I like to introduce myself.

I'm an assistant professor in Medical Informatics
My PhD research (finished 2006) was on Methods for Auditing Medical Terminological Systems
My research interest is on medical terminological systems, logic-based representation thereof, their use in clinical practice, and their quality assurance.
I have a strong interest in SNOMED CT
I'm a member of the Quality Assurance committee of the IHTSDO (International Health Terminologies Standards Development Organization), the organization that owns SNOMED CT.
I'm chair of the Implementation SIG of IHTSDO.
I'm involved in the Dutch program team that is preparing introduction of SNOMED CT in the Netherlands, organized by the Netherlands' Institute for ICT in Healthcare (Nictiz).
I'm co-chair of the Working Group on Formal (Bio)Medical knowledge Representation of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).
I'm chair of the so-called mirror group on "Terminology and Classification" of the Dutch Norm Committee 303006 "Information provision in healthcare", and affiliate for CEN and ISO.

I would love to see semantic web techniques applied to realize semantic patient records.

Best regards,
Ronald
