Semantic Web and Life Science
• Data captured per year = 1 exabyte (1018)
(Eric Neumann, Science, 2005)
• How much is that?
– Compare it to the estimate of the total words
ever spoken by humans = 12 exabyte
• Death by data
• The need for
– Search
– Integration
– Analysis,
decision
support
– Discovery
2
Not data, but
analysis and insight,
leading to decisions
and discovery
Ontologies are popular in life sciences
and health care

Applications and Demonstrations

Active Semantic Document
A document (typically in XML) with
• Lexical and Semantic annotations (tied to
ontologies)
• Actionable information (rules over semantic
annotations)
Application: Active Semantic Patient Record for
Cardiology Practice.
- 3 populated ontologies
- EMRs in XML

Semantic browsing and querying-- perform
decision support (how many patients are
using this class of drug, …)

More on ontologies, Languages and
Rules
• Schema
• Population (knowledge source)
• Freshness
• Use of W3C standards (XML, RDF, OWL,
RQL/SPARQL, SWRL)

On-line demo of Active Semantic Electronic Medical Record
(deployed at Athens Heart Center)
Comments on Evaluation
14
• Extreme User Friendliness
– Electronic Health Record is the focus of all
activities, no extra search, no switching of
windows
• Error Prevention
• Decision Support
• Better Patient Support and Insurance
