Description

The evolution of the web and mobile applications as well as the proliferation of advanced medical devices underpins the digital healthcare data universe and its distribution. Providing personalized clinical decisions that meet the patient profile requires automatically integrating multiple reliable knowledge sources. However, the dynamicity, the heterogeneity and the distribution of these sources hamper the integration process. In this paper, we have proposed a semantic cloud-based knowledge mediator that allows integrating external knowledge sources independent of their knowledge representation and used syntax. To this end, the proposed architecture defines a common semantic representation of the knowledge sources’ characteristics in order to dynamically adapt the queries and retrieve the appropriate knowledge from external sources.We have illustrated the efficiency of our proposed architecture through a diabetes scenario considering comorbidity condition.
