Abstract:
The paper addresses the problem of interoperation when searching across patient data represented in several medical vocabularies. This is an important issue of relevance to eHealth integration that will allow clinical information to be used in clinical research. We propose a novel way to semantically integrate a number of vocabularies for reference using a vocabulary service.
