Abstract

There are currently different standards for representing electronic healthcare records (EHR). Each standard defines its own information models, so that, in order to promote the interoperability among standard-compliant information systems, the different information models must be semantically integrated. In this work, we present an ontological approach to promote interoperability among CEN- and OpenEHR-compliant information systems
