I attended the Federal Health Architecture-ONCHIT Meeting
on Health Domains yesterday (see attached background presentaton and
spreadsheet) and made the following suggestions for moving forward jointly
(Ontolog/SICoP) and in the context of the RFI (for which they have about 500
responses) as follows:
(1) show how their 5 basic domains and examples under each
can be mapped to say SUMO-WordNet; and
(2) how some examples of domain ontologies mentioned in
the RFI would/or would not map well to (1) above.
They really liked this suggestion (maybe I could have
worded it better), but this would show how you could help them and set the stage
for a presentation to them soon if you are agreeable.
I am sure that you could offer significant improvements to
their Health Domains structure - e.g., it looks like it might more
logically all fall under say Health Care with subclasses like Access,
Information, Administration, Services, Research, Education, etc., but your are
the experts at this, not me, and also need to be compatible with the
health domain ontologies that are already out there that would fall under this
upper domain.
I hope we can discuss this in either today's meeting (I
have to break off about 2:15 for another meeting) or in a separate conference
call soon.
