This article discusses the creation of RDF representations of patient data, specifically focusing on a 54-year-old man with diabetes and his symptoms of dizziness and orthostatic intolerance. The article explores the use of industry standards such as RIM, CDA, SDTM, and Snomed/NCI Thesaurus, and proposes the creation of namespaces for each standard to ensure interoperability. The article also provides examples of eligibility criteria using RDF/OWL graphs.

Diabetes Patient Data 54-year-old man with diabetes was referred to the Hypertension Clinic in Jichi Medical School Hospital with symptoms of dizziness and orthostatic intolerance. In 2002, he started insulin therapy (Hemoglobin A1c 9 %), and in 2004, he was started on a once daily dose of valsartan 80 mg for hypertension. He sometimes complained of dizziness and fainting while standing. On 13 February 2005, he fell down while riding a bicycle. As the clinic BP was 84/60 mm Hg on 14 March, and the valsartan was stopped. He was referred to otolaryngology and neurology, but no significant abnormalities were detected.

Design Choices • What are the nodes of this graph? • What are the types of the nodes of this graphs (RDF(S)/OWL Classes)? • What are the labels of the edges of this graph? • How do we decide the classes and instances? • How do we deal with Industry Standards such as RIM/CDA/SDTM/DCM + Snomed/NCI Thesaurus etc.? • Can node types and edge labels be derived from these standards? • Can we have specialized edge (“maps_to”) to link nodes in this graph with Snomed/NCI Thesaurus concepts? • How do we choose these to ensure interoperability across multiple standards? • How do we represent temporal data and information? • How do we capture abstractions such as a clinical event, a patient encounter?
Name Space Issues • Proposal: Create Namespaces for each of the standards • hl7rim: HL7/RIM • dcm: Detailed Clinical Models • cda: Clinical Documentation Architecture • sdtm: Study Data Tabulation Model • snomed: Snomed • ncit: NCI Thesaurus
Proposed Tasks/Groups • HL7/RIM: Helen, Vipul, Dan • DCM: Tom Oniki, Stan Huff • Realist Approach: Kerstin, Bo, Alan • SDTM: Rachel, Jennifer • POMR: Vipul
