Business
Centric Methodology
The tri-fold
outlines of the OASIS Business-Centric Methodology (BCM)
is a complementary approach to current
architectures and methods for constructing
business-oriented services. A major focus is need
for people and machines of multiple
enterprises to exchange semantic
interoperability knowledge information exchange via standardized transactions; ensures user authorization; and supports checklist compliant operations.
BCM employs SOA
(Service Oriented Architecture) Templates
to place information in a business usage
context ,
simplify data
collection, reveal underlying patterns within
the information and improve communication
between business domain experts and
technologists by encapsulating:
Why - motive;
What – information & data;
When – timing & events;
Where - location;
How – services & functions; Who – stakeholders & roles.
To resolve semantic conflicts,
whenever, [1] data appears to have the same
meaning, but does not, and [2] naming schemes
differ significantly (e.g., synonyms and
homonyms) the Conceptual Layer uses
authoritative definitions embedded in
Community of Practice specific Data
Dictionaries, Lexicons, Taxonomies, Thesauri,
Topic Maps and Ontologies.
Medical Ontologies
This research paper
and supporting
powerpoint
outlines how the
knowledge embedded in OWL and medical
ontologies support e-Health web service
deployment that may involve the interaction of
independent resources from different domains
and owned by different entities. In
particular, it (1) identifies how the OASIS
Business Centric Methodology guidelines apply
to the development and publishing challenges
for medical information that is required by
agents representing the e-Health stakeholders
and (2) how the enterprise content management
capabilities of the ISO/TS 15000 ebXML
Registry / Repository are being used to manage
standards based (e.g., HL7 CDA, GEHR) medical
records and assist the discovery process.

an active contributor to projects that expand
the capabilities of open source ontologies
and federated registries / repositories.
Web Service Registry
This paper addresses how ebXML registry semantics support can be further enhanced to make it OWL aware. It also
shows how the resulting semantics can be made use of in Web service discovery and composition. Archetype Semantics
Using
archetypes is a promising approach in
providing semantic interoperability among
healthcare systems. To realize archetype based
interoperability, the healthcare systems need
to discover the existing archetypes based on
their semantics; annotate their archetypes
with ontologies; compose templates from
archetypes and retrieve corresponding data
from the underlying medical information
systems. In this paper,
we describe how ebXML Registry semantic
constructs can be used for annotating,
storing, discovering and retrieving
archetypes. For semantic annotation of
archetypes, we present an example archetype
metadata ontology and describe the techniques
to access archetype semantics through ebXML
query facilities.
Semantic Grid
The Semantic Web is widely accepted as a
means to enhance the Web with machine
processable content. The Grid is aiming at
technologies which allow the flexible, secure,
coordinated resource sharing among dynamic
collections of individuals, institutions, and
resources, enabling virtual organizations.ebXML is a suite of standards from
the e-business community addressing the entire
lifecycle for Service Oriented Architectures
for business to business and business to
consumer activities. This position paper and supporting
powerpoint
outlines how the Semantic GRID can benefit
from the use of ebXML related standards (such
as Business Process, Collaboration Protocol
Profiles and Agreements, Registry, Business
Centric Methodology, Access Control Policy
Management).
