With biodiversity research activities being increasingly shifted to the web, the need for a system of persistent and stable identifiers for physical collection objects becomes increasingly pressing. The Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities agreed on a common system of HTTP-URI-based stable identifiers which is now rolled out to its member organizations. The system follows Linked Open Data principles and implements redirection mechanisms to human-readable and machine-readable representations of specimens facilitating seamless integration into the growing semantic web. The implementation of stable identifiers across collection organizations is supported with open source provider software scripts, best practices documentations and recommendations for RDF metadata elements facilitating harmonized access to collection information in web portals.

The article deals with and discusses two main approaches in building semantic structures for electrophysiological metadata. It is the use of conventional data structures, repositories, and programming languages on one hand and the use of formal representations of ontologies, known from knowledge representation, such as description logics or semantic web languages on the other hand. Although knowledge engineering offers languages supporting richer semantic means of expression and technological advanced approaches, conventional data structures and repositories are still popular among developers, administrators and users because of their simplicity, overall intelligibility, and lower demands on technical equipment. The choice of conventional data resources and repositories, however, raises the question of how and where to add semantics that cannot be naturally expressed using them. As one of the possible solutions, this semantics can be added into the structures of the programming language that accesses and processes the underlying data. To support this idea we introduced a software prototype that enables its users to add semantically richer expressions into a Java object-oriented code. This approach does not burden users with additional demands on programming environment since reflective Java annotations were used as an entry for these expressions. Moreover, additional semantics need not to be written by the programmer directly to the code, but it can be collected from non-programmers using a graphic user interface. The mapping that allows the transformation of the semantically enriched Java code into the Semantic Web language OWL was proposed and implemented in a library named the Semantic Framework. This approach was validated by the integration of the Semantic Framework in the EEG/ERP Portal and by the subsequent registration of the EEG/ERP Portal in the Neuroscience Information Framework.

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems currently in use are not designed for widely interoperable longitudinal health data. Therefore, EHR data cannot be properly shared, managed and analyzed. In this article, we propose two approaches to making EHR data more comprehensive and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and thus more useful for diagnosis and clinical research. Firstly, the data modeling based on the LinkML framework makes the data interoperability more realistic in diverse environments with various experts involved. We show the first results of how diverse health data can be integrated based on an easy-to-understand data model and without loss of available clinical knowledge. Secondly, decentralizing EHRs contributes to the higher availability of comprehensive and consistent EHR data. We propose a technology stack for decentralized EHRs and the reasons behind this proposal. Moreover, the two proposed approaches empower patients because their EHR data can become more available, understandable, and usable for them, and they can share their data according to their needs and preferences. Finally, we explore how the users of the proposed solution could be involved in the process of its validation and adoption.

Objetivos:Com o incremento da disponibilidade de documentos eletrônicos em bases bibliográficas e de documentação clínica, a recuperação dessas informações requer a adoção de técnicas e interfaces amigáveis ao usuário. Métodos:Apresenta-se neste artigo uma estratégia específica para a recuperação de documentos, no domínio da indexação semântica de textos. A estratégia é baseada em um thesaurus de subwords e no mapeamento de textos, em diferentes linguagens, para uma representação única, interlingual, permitindo a busca entre diferentes coleções de documentos. Resultados:Três casos são apresentados empregando a metodologia desenvolvida: uma base de dados bibliográfica, um sistema departamental de prontuário eletrônico de pacientes e um portal Web. Conclusões:A utilização da metodologia de indexação e recuperação semântica revelou-se útil em diferentes protótipos e rotinas de trabalho, tendo sido bem aceita por diferentes grupos de usuários. Por fim, ressalta-se que a avaliação da performance da indexação já fora realizada, empiricamente, em estudos anteriores.

Objectives: The increasing amount of electronically available documents in bibliographic databases and the clinical documentation requires user-friendly techniques for content retrieval. Methods: A domain-specific approach on semantic text indexing for document retrieval is presented. It is based on a subword thesaurus and maps the content of texts in different European languages to a common interlingual representation, which supports the search across multilingual document collections. Results: Three use cases are presented where the semantic retrieval method has been implemented: a bibliographic database, a department EHR system, and a consumer-oriented Web portal. Conclusions: It could be shown that a semantic indexing and retrieval approach, the performance of which had already been empirically assessed in prior studies, proved useful in different prototypical and routine scenarios and was well accepted by several user groups.

Objectives: A significant portion of care related to cardiorespiratory diseases is provided at home, usually but not exclusively, after the discharge of a patient from hospital. It is the purpose of the present study to present the technical means which we have developed, in order to support the adaptation of the continuity of care of cardiorespiratory diseases at home. Methods: We have developed an integrated system that includes: first, a prototype laptop-based portable monitoring system that comprises low-cost commercially available components, which enable the periodical or continuous monitoring of vital signs at home; second, software supporting medical decision-making related to tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, as well as fuzzy-rules-based software supporting home-ventilation optimization; third, a typical continuity of care record (CCR) adapted to support also the creation of a homecare plan; and finally, a prototype ontology, based upon the HL7 clinical document architecture (CDA), serving as basis for the development of semantically annotated web services that allow for the exchange and retrieval of homecare information. Results: The flexible design and the adaptable data-exchange mechanism of the developed system result in a useful and standard-compliant tool, for cardiorespiratory disease-related homecare. Conclusions: The ongoing laboratory testing of the system shows that it is able to contribute to an effective and low-cost package solution, supporting patient supervision and treatment. Furthermore, semantic web technologies prove to be the perfect solution for both the conceptualization of a continuity of care data exchange procedure and for the integration of the structured medical data.

At present there are about 47.5 million people having different types of dementia and by 2030 this number would reach 75.6 million. This obviously brings about a serious social and economic burden for people who take care for those with any kind of dementia. The purpose of this article is to explore only semantic dementia (SD), more specifically called semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia, as one of the forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and provide the latest information on its diagnosis and treatment which play a significant role in the maintenance of quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. Especially unimpaired communication is one of the key factors in the relationship between the patients and their caregivers. The methods used for this mini review include a literature review of available sources found in the world's acknowledged databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Springer and Scopus from 2000 to 2015; and a comparison and evaluation of the selected studies. The findings of this mini review show that FTD, respectively SD, is a serious neurodegenerative disorder which has fatal consequences for the affected patients. In addition, the findings also indicate that there are not many possibilities of pharmacological treatment for semantic dementia and therefore more attention should be paid to alternative, non-pharmacological approaches. Although semantic dementia is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder if compared with other types of dementia, it has an irreversible impact on patient's and his/her caregiver's life in terms of quality.

To improve patient outcomes after trauma, the need to decrypt the post-traumatic immune response has been identified. One prerequisite to drive advancement in understanding that domain is the implementation of surgical biobanks. This paper focuses on the outcomes of patients with one of two diagnoses: post-traumatic arthritis and osteomyelitis. In creating surgical biobanks, currently, many obstacles must be overcome. Roadblocks exist around scoping of data that is to be collected, and the semantic integration of these data. In this paper, the generic component model and the Semantic Web technology stack are used to solve issues related to data integration. The results are twofold: (a) a scoping analysis of data and the ontologies required to harmonize and integrate it, and (b) resolution of common data integration issues in integrating data relevant to trauma surgery.

Background: In the range of Semantic Web, the idea of linking and sharing the resources generated by different authors, like ontologies, knowledge bases, or datasets, is referred to “Linked data”. Then, an ambitious project within the “Linked Data” paradigm is the “Linking Open Data” community project. It aims at publishing open data sets on the Web and semantically connecting data items belonging to different data sources. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to present a literature review on the subject of Linked Open Data in Health and Clinical Care. In fact, the availability of open data would increase evidence of the results of biomedical research, and consequently, of clinical practice. Methods: Selection criteria have been defined and searching in PubMed/Medline and Scopus citation databases - for all years the database were available - journals papers have been retrieved. Finally, an evaluation grid has been defined for analysing the retrieved papers, to answer some defined research questions. Results: Nine journal articles have been analysed according to the defined evaluation grid. In five out of nine papers, the main contributions are strategies and methodologies for the integration of systems, including bridging the information gap among forms for clinical research and the one for patient care. Then, in three papers the main contributions are the development of consistent triple stores according to the “Linked Data” paradigm. Finally, the last paper aims at building an open dataset for public health purposes. Conclusions: The review was able to answer the research questions, despite the limited number of included papers.
