Title

Representing social and legal entities in the biomedical domain

Workshop type

Discussion group (Talks + Discussion)

Organizers

Mathias Brochhausen, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR
William R. Hogan, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

Social and legal entities such as roles, documents, claims, and obligations play a key role in healthcare and biomedical research.  Information systems routinely manipulate data about these entities (and in some cases, these entities themselves).  Making healthcare and research systems interoperable will therefore require standard ontologies of social entities.

The workshop will continue the development of our understanding of social ontology and ontological artifacts that capture it, which was begun at a workshop in Gainesville, Florida earlier this year.
