An ontology based method to solve query identifier heterogeneity in post-genomic clinical trials
2008
Studies in Health Technology and Informatics
Moreover, Information Retrieval techniques must consider heterogeneities present in databases, initially belonging to different domains-e.g. clinical and genetic data. ...
One of the goals, among others, of the ACGT European is to provide seamless and homogeneous access to integrated databases. ...
The classical role of ontologies in database integration is acting as a general description of the domain the different data belong to -e.g. clinical, genetic and image data, in the case of ACGT. ...

The DebugIT core ontology: semantic integration of antibiotics resistance patterns
2010
Studies in Health Technology and Informatics
Massive amounts of clinical data are being collected and stored in proprietary and unconnected systems in heterogeneous format. ...
The semantic glue for this endeavor is DCO, an application ontology that enables data miners to query distributed clinical information systems in a semantically rich and content driven manner. ...
We acknowledge Hans Cools who has significantly contributed to the DebugIT ontology development and Djamila Raufie who helped curating DCO. ...
