• Integration of EPR system and diverse databases and devices

• WSMX – underlying technology
• WSMX as a intermediary between EPR and other systems
• Interoperability of data and processes

• Benefits: Solving interoperability in health care systems in Ireland also in the context of EU RIDE Project

• Funding: € 340K

Future Projects – e-Health – RIDE project

• Funded by EU Framework Program 6

• Start: 1st quarter 2006, duration: 2 years (CA)

• Semantic Interoperability of e-Health Systems

• Roadmap to achieve interoperability in e-health
• SWS (WSMO, WSML, WSMX) as underlying concepts
• Analysis of the best practices in providing interoperability

• Taking up SAOR results

• SAOR results will be promoted in the context of the RIDE project (roadmap, workshops, conferences)

• Funding: € 138K

Future Projects – SemanticGov

• Funded by EU Framework Program 6

• Start: January 2006, duration: 3 years (STREP)

• Discovery and selection of PA services by citizens
• Composition and execution of complex services with multiple PA

• Benefits: SemanticGov input to REACH in Ireland

• SemanticGov and REACH aligned with IDABC initiative of EC
• Planned collaboration with REACH project
• REACH – national interoperability framework for e-gov services
• SemanticGov – European interoperability framework enabling integration within the national framework

• Funding: € 350K

Future Projects – SWING
