Cecil Lynch (Ontoreason LLC) on OWL based RIMBAA implementation
- Experience at MD Anderson Cancer Center in building a RIM based backend and an application to transformed their "structured documents" from their EMR into CDA and the transform to the backend RIM model. It is based on an OWL ontology of the CDA model so that we can bind terminology to the CDA attributes using the inferencing from OWL.
- Expressing the v3 RIM in OWL. Cecil's company is fully based on OWL and RIM based artifacts and they have built the US CDC National Surveillance for Tuberculosis fully in OWL. That system has been in full production across the entire US since April of last year with no downtime and no errors.
- For OWL newbies: see the Pizza example in this tutorial PDF. That little exercise goes through all the aspects of OWL introducing them one at a time. Use an online OWl browser for the Pizza example OR: download the Protege software, and download the pizza.owl ontology tutorial.
