This document discusses the iterative process of co-creating an ontology with stakeholders. Researchers conducted contextual inquiries through documentation analysis, observations, and interviews across multiple healthcare sites. Scenarios were developed and used in workshops with various stakeholders including medical professionals, engineers, and social scientists. The workshops introduced ontologies and involved role playing, decision making, and concept evaluation. A proof of concept was developed using a personal electronic device to demonstrate the ontology. The document reflects on further refining the process and developing the research.
