Value Sets via Ontology Views

Detwiler, Landon T and Brinkley, James F (2011) Value Sets via Ontology Views. In Proceedings, Clinical Research Informatics Summit of the American Medical Informatics Association, pages 100, San Francisco, CA.

Abstract

We present a method for defining value sets as queries over ontologies (ontology views), and a mechanism for evaluating such queries. In particular we demonstrate an approach utilizing reusable template queries and parameterized URLs. We illustrate this method using an example from the Ontology of Clinical Research (OCRe).
