eHealth Information Infrastructure
3
EU countries are all islands with internal
problems
Will they improve their systems for the sake of
their citizens in other EU countries?
Only if the solution benefits their internal
problems and is cost saving and effective.
A single EU eHealth Information
Infrastructure would be slow in uptake unless it
is deployed in the first step within countries
changing their systems and these countries are
seen as leaders
What is shared is meaning, actions and patients
– therefor a single EU eHealth Information
Infrastructure is viable

4. EDF Athens 2014@GMagnusdottir
Creating a Information Resource
4
Multiple terminologies in
the same language are
merged into a unified
resource.
Linguistic similarity
search maps units that
share the same meaning.

5. EDF Athens 2014@GMagnusdottir
…also Multilingually!
5
Cross language merge is
deployed to find links and
equivalence across
language borders.
.
UK SE DE
Countries without data fill
in their language inside
the resource.

6. EDF Athens 2014@GMagnusdottir
Using the Information Resource
6
Maintain Explore APIs

7. EDF Athens 2014@GMagnusdottir
Deploying an Open Infrastructure
7
Search API
Linguistic Search
Finds terminology and meta data cross-language
Ontology API
Traverses classification system to get meaning
The Information Infrastructure would
open the domain from Governments to
software developers.
SMEs building targeted solutions can
reach a much bigger market.

8. EDF Athens 2014@GMagnusdottir
IMHO
Translation is not enough to achieve
Cross Border Interoperability
Data and Language Technology
provide the only credible path for
Semantic Interoperability
To achieve a single market the EU
needs DATA INTEROPERABILTY
