WEBINAR: Clinical data in FHIR RDF: Intro and Representation, Josh
Mandel and David Booth - Part 4 of Yosemite Series
DATE: Thursday September 17, 2015

ABSTRACT
FHIR -- Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources -- is a next
generation standards framework created by HL7.  It is designed to
improve the interoperability of healthcare data, and will allow
implementers to choose between equivalent XML, JSON and RDF data
formats.  This webinar provides an introduction to FHIR and an early
preview of the RDF representation of FHIR that is now being developed.
This RDF representation will facilitate automated reasoning and allow
data based on other standards to be more readily combined and interlinked.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Josh Mandel, MD, is a physician and software engineer at Children's
Hospital Informatics Program at Harvard-MIT interested in improving
clinical care through information technology. After earning an S.B. in
computer science and electrical engineering from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and an M.D. from the Tufts University School of
Medicine, he joined the faculty of the Boston Children's Hospital
Informatics Program and Harvard Medical School, where he serves as lead
architect of the SMART Project (http://smartplatforms.org). Josh has a
special interest in tools and interfaces that support software
developers who are new to the health domain.

David Booth, PhD, is a senior software architect at Hawaii Resource
Group and at Rancho BioSciences, using Semantic Web technology to make
clinical healthcare data interoperable between diverse systems. He
previously worked at KnowMED, using Semantic Web technology for
healthcare quality-of-care and clinical outcomes measurement, and at
PanGenX, applying Semantic Web technology to genomics in support of
personalized medicine. Before that he worked on Cleveland Clinic's
SemanticDB project, which uses RDF and other semantic technologies to
perform cardiovascular research. Prior to that was a software architect
at HP Software. He was also a W3C Fellow from 2002 to 2005, where he
worked on Web Services standards before becoming involved in Semantic
Web technology. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA.
