Dear openehr-technical users, This message is to announce the release of a Java-based implementation of a translator of OpenEHR archetypes to OWL, which may be of interest for the users of this list. The translator uses an OWL ontology of the reference model that is linked in the OpenEHR pages, and the APIs of the Java reference implementation of OpenEHR. The code is LGPL and it is now hosted in: http://code.google.com/p/ehr2ont/ <http://code.google.com/p/ehr2ont/> This is an early release and of course feedback and bug reports are really welcomed. We will be improving and extending the software in the coming months. There is a reference to a paper describing the approach in the OpenEHR pages: http://www.openehr.org/shared-resources/publications/archetypes.html <http://www.openehr.org/shared-resources/publications/archetypes.html> Concretely: "Combining OpenEHR archetype definitions with SWRL rules - a translation approach". I can send you pre-proofs of the paper if you request them directly to me (msicilia at uah.es <mailto:msicilia at uah.es> ) Best regards, Miguel-Angel Sicilia http://www.ieru.org <http://www.ieru.org>
