apologies if this is a tangent but why is what's identified as "extensional" particular to health-care? "Who" said/observed/found/acted "What", "When" and "Where" is surely a general notion. Does it need a health-care model or ontology? Yes, particular findings or observations or procedures can be

At Kaiser we use SNOMED subsumption to automatically generate preference lists for different specialties, and to pre populate (only after humans edit the list) work flow for chemo therapy. But for outcomes research or quality reporting it has real value too. Using both SQL and subsumption you

That's actually quite interesting and clarifies a foggy little place in my head. It does bring up the question of "who knows when to use the RDF they find as Open or Closed world?. It might be something that only depends on what you, the user, want out of it. I don't know if you'd always hav

Totally agree. The more we can show people the advantages of SW representations, the better. Eric and I are trying to come up with a "message and explanation" with a couple of really concrete examples to address the question of "isn't this just another silver bullet?" Hopefully we can make s

We probably agree. I mostly object to models where I see words like "Systolic Blood Pressure" in-lined in the OO model. I object because if that model intends to use SNOMED and map to the same thing, then the "thing" is defined twice in the model, in the in-lined OO part and also in the SNOME

Great discussion in the meeting today and on the email list: BRIDG/OWL, FHIR/SW, Extensional and Intensional /" design-time" and "run-time" models, ... a lot of interesting things seems to converge for how to model patient data. At the same time I think it would be useful to explore a RDF impleme

Hi Peter, Just my two cents: Having read your white paper, I find your separation into the "What", i.e. the terminological model (intensional), and the "When, Who, Where, Why", i.e. the context/information model (extensional), very useful and intuitive. In y

Hi Peter and All, I think RIM (in XML format coreSchemas) can be represented in OWL (as an Intensional view or OWA), however problem may arise due to local RMIMs. In my work so far I see them as a problem of integrating global (OWL-RIM) and local ontologies (OWL-RMIM). As Charlie said, main use of

We are in fact talking about two different things. If you are talking about how to more easily create new FHIR resources, and to assure their correct mapping to the RIM then my points are not relevant. It is my view that clinical models can gain a lot of functionality by the addition of semant

Sorry I didn't make the meeting but just looked at the minutes. We (Kaiser) do use the Ontology features of SNOMED extensively and have a different take on how it should be done. Specifically we would not advocate for example, putting FHIR in RDF or OWL. What we've fount to be simple, useful,
