'Sylvia Thun'] Digital data are anticipated to transform medicine. However, most of today’s medical data lack interoperability: hidden in isolated databases, incompatible systems and proprietary software, the data are difficult to exchange, analyze, and interpret. This slows down medical progress, as technologies that…

Information has become the vital commodity of exchange in recent decades. Medicine is no exception; the importance of patient information in the digital form has been recognized by organizations and health care facilities. Almost all patient information, including medical history, radiographs, and feedback, can be…

'Marcel Konrad' 'Manuel Prinz' 'Roman Baum'] FAIR (meta)data presuppose their successful communication between machines and humans while preserving meaning and reference. The FAIR Guiding Principles lack specificity regarding semantic interoperability. We adopt a linguistic perspective on semantic interoperability and…

Background Semantic interoperability facilitates the exchange of and access to health data that are being documented in electronic health records (EHRs) with various semantic features. The main goals of semantic interoperability development entail patient data availability and use in diverse EHRs without a loss of…

Enhancing data/metadata interoperability is the solution for solving data/metadata heterogeneities among the different parts (e.g., systems) between which we seek to exchange information . According to , we can categorize these heterogeneities as structural (schema), syntactic (format), and semantic (meaning)…

Background: Across the world, health data generation is growing exponentially. The continuous rise of new and diversified technology to obtain and handle health data places health information management and governance under pressure. Lack of data linkage and interoperability between systems undermines best efforts to…

This paper presents an interoperability architecture for data spaces (DSIA), allowing members of the different data spaces using different technologies and services to exchange data. The DSIA builds on the existing trust of data space members and extends it through shared agreements and additional federation and…
