Abstract:

This paper outlines how the knowledge embedded in OWL and medical ontologies support e-Health web service deployment that may involve the interaction of independent resources from different domains and owned by different entities. In particular, it (1) identifies how the OASIS Business Centric Methodology guidelines apply to the development and publishing challenges for medical information that is required by agents representing the e-Health stakeholders and (2) how the enterprise content management capabilities of the ISO/TS 15000 ebXML Registry / Repository are being used to manage standards based (e.g., HL7 CDA, GEHR) medical records and assist the discovery process.
