I've since updated this ontology (attached to the ESW Wiki) as well as the documentation on the Wiki. Currently, it aligns with GALEN (the more recent Open Galen model), Helen's OWL extract of the HL7 RIM, Barry Smith's Ontology of Biomedical Reality (OBR), DOLCE, and the KIF-based Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA) Medical Theories.
I'll (shortly) be adding a GRDDL transform from HL7 CDA XML documents to instances of this ontology.
