We (Kaiser) are working with Ian Horrock's group at Oxford on a project for automating HEDIS reports using RDFox. RDFox is a novel kind of RDF store that can use OWL-RL and Datalog and can do massively parallel processing.
Excellent!
For the RDF models, I really hope they are not so ad hoc, but that they follow the HL7 V3 backbone idea of starting top ontology levels with Entities Roles participations and Acts. It is key to have this for all of the models to be HL7 compatible. If the RDF healthcare models start with this level, then they will be compatible with HL7 V2 and CDA etc.
Certainly the intent is to make use of existing models -- HL7 and others. In particular, to:
- Capture *existing* and new models -- whatever they are -- in RDF and OWL so that they have a common semantic basis, and relationships between them can then be captured in RDF and OWL.
- Promote standards convergence of those models -- to reduce or eliminate redundancy -- using RDF and OWL as a common semantic basis for expressing them.
- Facilitate crowd-sourcing of data translations for instance data express in different data models and vocabularies, by using RDF as a common information representation.
