Among several other ICBO papers devoted to the creation of OGMS-conformant clinical ontologies was a contribution by Josh Hanna and colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences entitled "Building a Drug Ontology based on RxNorm and Other Sources." DrOn is built in a modular fashion to facilitate incorporation of content from RxNorm and other sources within a manually built, realist, upper-level framework based on BFO.
HL7 (Health Level 7) is a collection of standards and proposals for healthcare-specific data exchange between computer applications. Considerable efforts are being invested by governments and industry to use HL7 as part of national health IT projects. Many claims are made on behalf of HL7 by its advocates. The goal of this blog is to investigate the merits of these claims, and to provide some needed independent perspective on the HL7 project.

An OGMS-Based Model for Clinical Information
In a paper presented at the International Conference on Biomedical Ontology (ICBO) in Montreal, Heiner Oberkampf and colleagues from Siemens Corporate Technology and the Universities of Augsburg and Erlangen propose an interesting strategy to advance semantic integration of patient data. As they point out, such integration would require annotation with terms from established domain ontologies "based on an ontologically well-founded information model" and they choose Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS) as the basis of their work.
