Hi, Vipul
Thanks so much for your paper. It provides an ideal test case for ACPP to work on :) I will try to apply our ACPP ontology and develop some rules accordingly to see if our proposed ACPP ontology is adequate to represent the knowledge outlined in your paper.
You are welcome to join our discussion next Tuesday!

Helen,
Attached with this e-mail is an AMIA submission which discusses the use of ontologies and rules in the context of representing a diabetes guideline.
Pending acceptance at AMIA 2006, the paper can be referenced as a Tech Report, CIRD, Partners HealthCare, Tech Report No. CIRD-20060322-01.
We propose that introducing ontologies in the context of rules in clinical guideline context has a more significant impact on knowledge change and
Maintenance and total cost of ownership of rule bases as opposed to execution performance.
Look forward to comments and feedback..
Cheers,
---Vipul

Subject: [HCLS-ACPP] July 18 Tcon Minutes and "use of rules with ontology in semantic web" tutorial session in next Tcon on July 25
Dear All
Here is the minutes of our Tcon on July 18
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/ACPPTaskForce/Telecons/july18_2006
At ACPP, we recognize the need to use rules when representing medical and operational knowledge in adaptable clinical protocols and pathways. Not all facts and relationship can be adequately represented in OWL ontology, especially when taking into consideration of decidability and efficiency of reasoning.
In our next Tcon, Chimezie will present a tutorial on using rules with ontology and share his experiences with various semantic web reasoners. Please join us for the discussion on July 25, 1-2pm.
Kind regards.
Helen
