The OHIO Platform (Open Health Innovation Ontology) Ontology • An ontology models concepts and relationships within the domain of innovation • OHIO (Open Health Innovation Ontology) has been developed by the NIC. As a bridging ontology it spans the entire innovation pipeline. Data • Sources of data: e.g. Open.gov data, PubMed • Curated: e.g. professional rendering of data • Datafeeds: e.g. automated Natural Language. RDFa tagging Triple Store • In the semantic web, data is stored in a triple-store, enabling data to be very finely profiled • Following rendering, semantically-enhanced data is disseminated via ‘SPRQL-endpoint’. • semantically-enhanced data can then be expressed via a wide range of applications Applications • There are many ways to visualise and understand data • Open Source community offers plethora of tools to exploit: MIT, Google Labs • Widget Platform: a place where people can find and upload their data, and then with this data create and share as well as embed applications in their own sites .
