Introduction
This page is intended to provide a focal point for the Security and Privacy Ontology Project; a hub for connecting to its artifacts, discussions, status and links to related projects and work groups. Most of the technical content for this project will be contained within its artifacts which will be linked to on this page and stored on GForge or other wikis. This page will provide sufficient content for project and document organization.
Scope
The scope of the project was defined by the answers to a set of scoping questions.

Ontology Development Methodology
This methodology has been derived from a guideused by the Protégé team and demonstrates a basic model development process that shares some steps with HL7 HDF. The draft was written from the standpoint of developing an ontology from scratch.
Use Cases
Access Control Based on Category of Action
Access Control Based on Category of Object
Access Control Based on Category of Structural Role
Access Control Based on Category of Functional Role
Access Control Based on Multiple Role Values
Enable Design of Access Control System
Facilitate an Automated Decision Function
Tooling
This project uses the Protégé-OWL Editor for ontology editing and the Ontology Browser for Web-based ontology review.
Protégé-OWL Editor
The Protégé-OWL Editor operates on OWL 2 ontologies. It also handles SWRL. The Security and Privacy Ontology is currently edited with the Protégé 4.1 Release version.
- Description: Protégé-OWL Editor
- Download: download protégé
Ontology Browser
The Ontology Browser provides read-only access to OWL 2 ontologies.
- Description: Ontology Browser
- Usage guide: Getting Started
Draft Ontology
The current published draft of the Security and Privacy ontology will be available for download and hosted browsing as follows. When reviewing, please take note of explanatory comments among the annotations.
Download
The Security and Privacy Ontology is distributed as a zip file containing an Ontologies directory, a set of OWL files representing the sub-ontologies, and an XML Catalog. The catalog supports redirection of ontology IRIs to the local file system. For example, http://www.hl7.org/ontologies/SecurityAndPrivacy.owl, which does not yet exist on the Web, is redirected to the SecurityAndPrivacy.owl file.
Current published draft of the Security-Privacy Ontology for peer review: Ontologies.zip - April 6, 2012
Hosted Browsing
Apelon is voluntarily hosting the Ontology Browser to facilitate peer review of the Security and Privacy Ontology. Please respect that purpose.
To browse the current published draft ontology using a Web browser:
- Visit the hosted Ontology Browser: Ontology Browser
- Optionally (but recommended), to view the Ontology as enriched by an OWL reasoner:
- Click Options (on the right, towards the top of the page).
- Select HermiT from the pulldown list labelled Reasoner (under Model on the right).
- Click Ontology Browser at the top left.
- Enter the URL for an OWL file in the box labeled Specify the physical location of your ontology. URLs for the Security and Privacy Ontology are shown in the table below. Suggested entries are highlighted in yellow and gold.
- Click load.
Hints:
- Click Help (at top right) to for further details. See especially Getting started under Documentation.
- The Ontology Browser generally works well when viewing ontology contents, but there are occasional glitches loading or switching ontologies. Try clearing and reloading ontologies (see below) or restarting your Web browser.
- Click the red box with the white X (near top left) to clear all ontologies.
- Click Ontology Browser (at top left) to return to the home page, where you can load ontologies.
| Sub-ontology | URL for hosted Ontology Browser | - | ClinicalConditionOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/ClinicalConditionOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents clinical conditions, starting with samples taken from the CSP-DAM. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ConfidentialityOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/ConfidentialityOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents sensitivities based on the HL7 v3 Confidentiality code system [2.16.840.1.113883.5.25]. | |||
| ObjectOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/ObjectOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents objects from the HL7 RBAC Permission Catalog. | |||
| ObligationOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/ObligationOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents obligations, starting with samples taken from the CSP-DAM. | |||
| OperationOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/OperationOntology.owl | Imports OperationOntology_CRUDE.owl. Represents further operations from the HL7 RBAC Permission Catalog. | |||
| OperationOntology_CRUDE.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/OperationOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents "CRUDE" operations from the HL7 RBAC Permission Catalog. | |||
| PermissionOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/PermissionOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents permissions from the HL7 RBAC Permission Catalog. | |||
| PurposeOfUseOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/PurposeOfUseOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents purposes of use, starting with samples taken from the CSP-DAM. | |||
| RBACOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/RBACOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents purely RBAC classes based on ANSI/INCITS 359-2004 and the HL7 RBAC Permission Catalog. Note that classes imported from SecurityAndPrivacy.owl may come with attributes outside of pure RBAC and/or may add pure RBAC restrictions here. | |||
| RoleOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/RoleOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents example security roles. Presently includes all ASTM structural roles. A representative subset of them will be selected and retained as discussed at the Orlando WGM. Also includes a few functional roles, to be revised. | |||
| SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl | The base HL7 Security and Privacy Ontology. Intended to be normative once approved. | |||
| SensitivityOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/SensitivityOntology.owl | Imports SecurityAndPrivacyOntology.owl. Represents sensitivities based on the HL7 v3 ActPrivacyPolicy value set (drawn from ActCode code system). | |||
| SomewhereHospitalOntology.owl | FILE://localhost/C:/Ontologies/SomewhereHospitalOntology.owl | Imports all of the preceding sub-ontologies. Thus, enables browsing them together. Represents an interrelated set of individuals collectively representing an access control request. Further instances to be developed. To support SWRL rules, adds several classes (whose names begin with *; note that the SWRL rules are not accessible via the Ontology Browser). |
Notes:
- An Ontologies directory is hosted on the same virtual server as the Ontology Browser. The URLs in the preceding table will direct the hosted Ontology Browser to OWL files on its local host (not your local host).
- Eventually, HL7 ontologies may be hosted at a well known location such as http://www.hl7.org/ontologies/ (which doesn't currently exist). In anticipation, the IRIs for sub-ontologies and other elements of the Security and Privacy Ontology embody that location. Unlike Protégé, the current Ontology Browser software provides no way to redirect such IRIs. Therefore, we direct the Ontology Browser to the hosted files (having manually edited OWL imports accordingly within the hosted files).
Ontology Review Criteria

- Security-Privacy Ontology Review Criteria: Updated - 10/20/2010
