abstract = {In this thesis, we investigate semantic web based methods for representing, linking and analyzing medical data. The main challenge addressed in this work is the transformation of data stored in a relational database to an ontological model that allows to represent as RDF triples and to link the data with external data sources using linked data principles. We have implemented a semantic analytics framework that comprises the following elements: (a) Domain-specific ontology to represent the data model and data inference. (b) RDMS data extraction using a domain-specific ontology (TBOX) based on the relational database schema; (c) Ontology instantiation (ABOX) that involves converting the relational data in terms of RDF triples. A key feature of our approach is the data is not physically migrated from the RDBS to RDF, rather we dynamically materialize the RDF triples thus avoiding the creation of a large RDF dump; (d) Linking the RDF data with available open data in RDF format using ontology-based concept alignments; and (e) Semantic analytics using SPARQL to identify semantically-salient patterns within the data. We have applied our semantic analytics data to analyze pathology lab data (over 5 years of pathology order data), where we were able to identify prevalent order-sets inherent within the data, and we also evaluated the change in the frequent order-sets over a five year time period.},

abstract = {The goal of this project is to augment clinician communication by connecting it to evidence-based research, providing explicit knowledge to corroborate the experiential knowledge shared between health care practitioners. The source of tacit knowledge sharing is the Pediatric Pain Mailing List (PPML), a forum for practicing clinicians to contact peers on the subject of pain in children. The messages, dating back to 1993, are processed for pertinent information and gathered together into threads. They are then parsed and connected to a set of MeSH keywords, which is used to search Pubmed and return a set of papers that correspond to the subject being discussed. The results are presented in an online forum, providing clinicians with an arena in which they can browse the archives of the PPML and connect those conversations to pertinent medical literature.},
