A Semantic Web-based System for Managing Clinical Archetypes

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2008:2008:1482-5. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2008.4649448.

Abstract

Archetypes facilitate the sharing of clinical knowledge and therefore are a basic tool for achieving interoperability between healthcare information systems. In this paper, a Semantic Web System for Managing Archetypes is presented. This system allows for the semantic annotation of archetypes, as well for performing semantic searches. The current system is capable of working with both ISO13606 and OpenEHR archetypes.
