Intended learning outcomes
This course lets the student go deeper into the area of semantic interoperability among health care information systems, i.e. the issue of communication based on the meaning of the information. The overall aim is that participants should acquire knowledge and skills in order to be able to reason about the possibilities and prerequisites for automated processing of patient data stored in disparate information systems. After completing the course, students are expected to be able to independently:
- Create information models based on given scenarios
- Discuss different ways of dividing an information system into components
- Describe different ways of interconnecting information models and ontologies
- Describe ongoing international standardization efforts and collaborative development projects
- Describe how terminologies and ontologies can be categorized and analyze the impact of their properties in different scenarios
- On a general level explain how language logics are classified and how their properties influence the creation and use of formal concept representations
- Apply tools for implementing and editing information models and ontologies
Course content
- Information models, process models, inference models, and ontologies
- openEHR and ISO/EN 13606: architecture, archetypes, and templates
- HL7 v3: RIM, CDA, and DCM
- Compound information models
- Classification, terminology, and ontology: history, properties, and applications
- Pre- and postcoordinated terminologies
- Mapping and ontology alignment
- Medical language processing
- Semantic Web(s)
- Description logics, semantics, and expressive power
- RDF, XML, and Web Ontology Language (OWL)
- SNOMED CT and IHTSDO
- Standardization: organizations, processes, and results
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, seminars, laboratory experiments, and home work.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
