HL7 has just completed its first version of the entire MIF -- RIM + data types + vocabulary -- in OWL and is beginning to move to the use of SW as both a core design and run-time (RDF) artifact, the first instance of which will be manifest in the FHIR initiative. Other activities on the radar are representation of all existing RIM-derived artifacts -- e.g. RMIMs and CDA templates -- in OWL. There is definitely movement. charlie ________________________________________ From: Renato Iannella [ri@semanticidentity.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 11:48 PM To: Tom Morris; public-semweb-lifesci Cc: David Booth; RebholzSchuhmann; Joanne Luciano; Michel Dumontier; Conor Dowling; Rafael Richards Subject: Re: Opening Walled Gardens: RDF / Linked Data as the Universal Exchange Language of Healthcare On 16 Jan 2013, at 02:24, Tom Morris <tfmorris@gmail.com> wrote: > I think the argument would be greatly strengthened by proof points to > support the claims. They don't need to be long and elaborate. The best real-world example would be the BBC's Olympic Games system that used RDF [1]. I think the Response paper is ok (given the intended audience) - and any examples could get complex that actually showed the inferencing advantages of RDF/OWL.... The recommendation for "The HIT Policy Committee should seriously consider adopting RDF as a uniform, universal exchange language for healthcare..." would be probably be worthwhile going to HL7 as well;-) Cheers...
