From IIW

Semantic Interoperability With Layered Schemas and Linked Data

Wednesday 11H

Convener: Burak Serdar

Notes-taker(s):  Burak Serdar

Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps

This session is about layered schemas as a tool for semantic interoperability. Traditional schemas like JSON/XML schemas define structure. A layered schema allows semantic annotations to be added to data. They also define a mapping from an input representation to an abstract data model represented as linked data. The use cases shown during the session include

  • Semantic harmonization in a data pooling use case

  • Machine readable data use agreements

  • Granular consent as layers

  • Deidentification

  • Data transformations

  • Data capture with different layers for different jurisdictions/locale

  • Health data (FHIR)
