Healthcare Schema Vocabulary (ScheMed)
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to introduce to you this healthcare community effort initiated in June 2013, to build an extension to schema.org medical entity (henceforth named health.schema.org).
The materials here are owned and maintained by the W3C Healthcare Schema Vocabulary Community Group.This effort aimed to enable the use of schema.org not only by webmasters but also in indexing health records, healthcare documents, and as a pillar open source of medical ontology/vocabulary for formalization of healthcare information.
The intention is not to be complete, or to replace existing clinical information models, or to create a new information model. The aim is mainly to provide most useful and frequently used (so, demand driven) classes and predicates related to the medical domain.Within this scope all concepts are mapped to the existing terminology (SNOMED, ICD, LOINC, ATC, RxNorm,etc.) as far as it's feasible. Everyone's input is needed here. The bigger our community will be, the better the coverage our health schema vocabulary will be.
The history of submitted proposals:
+ v0.2 (September, 2015): The current version - made by the strictly minimum terms, as they were initially in schema.org core.
+ v0.1 (May, 2015): Second submission after review and restructuring.
+ v0.0 (May,2013) Initial submission submitted in 2013 for review.
We will leave out to the consumer the next step of drafting a set of clinical information models using schema.org as a third-party pillar source of medical ontology. This will contribute to the interoperability and re-use of the patterns in healthcare information exchange.
Do not miss this momentum! Please join this effort today and be part of the future healthcare information sharing community!
You're all welcome!
