14.00h – 14.20h eHealth Interoperability - European perspective
Dr. Octavian Purcarea Dr. Octavian Purcarea
Unit H1 – ICT for Health (eHealth), Directorate ICT Adressing Societal Challenges, DG INFSO, EU Commission

The lack of interoperability in systems and services has long been identified as one of the major challenges to the wider implementation of the Union's eHealth applications. The opportunities and positive benefits of achieving interoperability are ultimately considerable, whereas various barriers and challenges act as impediments.

This presentation introduces a Recommendation of the EU Commission proposing a set of guidelines for good practice on eHealth interoperability.

14.20h – 14.40h The European Centre for Ontological Research – Future Perspectives in Biomedical Ontologies
Dr. Mathias Brochhausen Dr. Mathias Brochhausen
Executive Director of the European Centre for Ontological Research (ECOR), The Institute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information Science (IFOMIS), Saarbrücken, Germany

Ontology development and ontological engineering are burgeoning knowledge management fields. As key paradigms of research in the domain of biomedical data management, they are put to use in a great number of ways. There is, however, a wide variety of so-called “ontologies,” and the candidates differ considerably with respect to the amount of knowledge they include. The European Centre for Ontological Research (ECOR) aims, as a consequence, to develop and advance common standards and techniques to be used in ontology development and ontological engineering.acus

15.00h – 15.20h CASCOM Project Presentation
Dr. Oliver Keller Dr. Oliver Keller
German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Saarbrücken, Germany

CASCOM's main objective was to develop, implement, validate, and trial of intelligent, context-aware agent-based service coordination infrastructure for innovative Semantic Web service discovery, composition, and execution across mobile and fixed peer-to-peer service networks. The CASCOM architecture has been extensively evaluated using an emergency assistance application in mobile eHealth environment.
