Vipul,
I was responding to Helen's request for information about "a good
ontology version of RIM/CDA"
I think Alan Rector's paper is still relevant to your use case. My
understanding is that, in his view, HL7/RIM/CDA are *information
model* constructs that use *terminology codes* that are induced/have
bindings from ontology or *model of reality" things. So if you are
modeling eligibility criteria using HL7RIM/CDA, most of the items in
your spreadsheets are terminology codes, not entities in an ontology.
There are so many ways to model eligibility criteria. I am not sure I
understand "filling this table with HL7/RIM/CDA constructs." The RIM
Acts have criterion mood. So an eligibility criterion involving "Serum
Creatine," for example, can be an Observation Act in criterion mood
with code = a terminology code for Serum Creatinine and value = an
interval of Physical Quantity (and maybe effectiveTime to express
temporal constraint. Presumably Tom Marley's OWL ITS of the HL7 RIM
would give you such a RIM construct the criterion in OWL syntax.
(Alternatively, you can use GELLO to write the criterion). Using OWL
expressions to model eligibility criteria is another matter. I
apologize if these comments reflect my ignorance about what you are
doing. I am not familiar with prior discussions about the spreadsheet.

Samson,
Thanks for the pointer. Our use case is different, we are more
interested in using HL7/RIM constructs
to model eligibility criteria for some diabetes related clinical
protocols.
An initial attempt at doing this is available at:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/ClinicalObservationsInteroperability/RIMRDFOWL?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ModelingConstructsForDiabetesData.xls
It will be great if you could help us in filling out this table
using HL7/RIM/CDA constructs.
Thanks!

Tom Marley and Alan Rector, under a consultancy contract with NHS
CfH, have successfully encoded a significant subset of HL7 RIM and
NHS messages and message fragments in OWL. According to [1], Tom
Marley is preparing an OWL ITS of the HL7 RIM and data types based
on this work. A conference paper describing this work generically is
available at [2].

Vipul and all
Sorry I will not be able to dial in today due to a time conflict.
I started to put up a wiki to examine some previous effort on
converting RIM/CDA to RDF/OWL for semantic web reasoning. The
page is here
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/ClinicalObservationsInteroperability/HL7CDA2OWL.html?action=show
I will add more content later this afternoon. Please feel free to
add links if you know a good ontology version of RIM/CDA.
Regards.
Helen
