Information Systems in the context of the health domain play a critical role. The evolution of the semantic web and knowledge management technologies in the last years set a new context for the exploitation of patient-centric strategies based on well-defined semantics and knowledge. In this paper we have two critical objectives. On the one hand to exploit the state of the art on Semantic Web and Knowledge Management (KM) approaches in the context of the health domain and on the other hand to…

Service Semantics Classification: an Approach Towards Modular Service Ontology
TLDR
This paper proposes a semantics classification scheme based on service aspects that are essential for a services ecosystem and claims that this requires a modular approach in which general purpose service semantics can be further extended or specialised with domain-specific concepts.
DISMON: Using Social Web and Semantic Technologies to Monitor Diseases in Limited Environments
TLDR
DISMON Disease Monitor is presented, a system based on Semantic Technologies and Social Web SW to improve patient care for medical diagnosis in limited environments, namely, organizations to increase efficiency by means of the prevention of injuries and illnesses, resulting in a safety environment for workers.
Towards a Unifying Process Framework for Services Knowledge Management
TLDR
It is argued that a process framework approach is beneficial for service knowledge management and an abstract template and a typical service life-cycle that can be adopted to integrate heterogeneous service knowledge from diverse sources are offered.
AQUA: A Closed-Domain Question Answering System
TLDR
