The BRIDG model as the most authoritative resource in Shared Semantics for Ontologies development in Healthcare practice

Abstract

Developing a meaning service like a suitable ontology is of paramount importance to achieve Computing Semantic Interoperability (CSI) in every eld. In Healthcare, every system involved must agree in the meaning of a clinical concept. This is the fundamental concept of Shared Semantics that has to be realized to obtain CSI in the Health sub-domain of knowledge. We present the HL7 RIM inadequacy for ontology mapping and how to cir- cumvent it using the BRIDG DAM. Natural Language Processing techniques for automated ontology population are discussed and the current trends about knowledge representation and reasoning in the Healthcare domain are pre- sented
