Abstract

Given a care delivery organization, its health information system can be defined as the part of the organization that processes and stores data, information, and knowledge. There is an enormous number of frameworks, textbooks and articles that describe the scope of health information system management from the perspective of medical informatics. Transforming this knowledge to Linked Open Data results in a structured data representation that is accessible for both humans and machines, the Semantic Network of Information Management in Hospitals (SNIK). We present interfaces that are useful for researchers, practitioners and students, depending on their objectives and their Semantic Web skills.

Keywords: Health Information Systems; Information Management; Semantic Web.
