Documentations

Getting started ; Getting into RDF & Semantic Web using N3

KMEHR ; Kind Message for Electronic Health Record was introduced in 2002. It is an implementation of the fourth recommendation of the Belgian Healthcare Telematics Commission, enabling the exchange of structured clinical information.

SUMEHR ; The Summarized Electronic Health Record is the minimal set of data that a physician needs, to understand the medical status of the patient in a few minutes and, to ensure the continuity of care.

Semantic Web ; Semantic Web technologies enable people to create data stores on the Web, build vocabularies, and write rules for handling data. Linked data are empowered by technologies such as RDF, SPARQL, OWL, and SKOS.

OWL

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies, and is endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium.
OWL 2 ; W3C Recommendation 27 October 2009 Web Ontology Language Document Overview

RDF : The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a family of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications originally designed as a metadata data model. It has come to be used as a general method for conceptual description or modeling of information that is implemented in web resources, using a variety of syntax formats

SPARQL ; SPARQL, query language for RDF, can be used to express queries across diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or viewed as RDF via middleware.

URI In computing, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters used to identify or name a resource on the Internet. Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network (typically the World Wide Web) using specific protocols. Schemes specifying a concrete syntax and associated protocols define each URI.

SKOS : Simple Knowledge Organisation Systems (SKOS) is a family of formal languages designed for representation of thesauri, classification schemes, taxonomies, subject-heading systems, or any other type of structured controlled vocabulary. SKOS is built upon RDF and RDFS, and its main objective is to enable easy publication of controlled structured vocabularies for the Semantic Web. SKOS is currently developed within the W3C framework.
