Abstract

We have created and implemented an ontological model, which addresses the problem of data sharing and interoperability in a heterogeneous hospital computing environment. We have also used semantic web tools and reasoning mechanisms to achieve our aims and have demonstrated that it is feasible to share heterogeneous data across hospital environments and create an intelligent awareness for software applications built within them.
