System architectures and ontologies applied to health information systems

Software systems currently support many of our daily
task, however, the collaboration or interoperability
between persons is few explored. This book goes
beyond to the technical interoperability and face the
knowledge heterogeneity of the actors involved in
the Type 2 Diabets Mellitus care. The Generic
Component Model is the framework for building
interoperable systems starting from a computer
independent view. Ontologies and business process
models are combined in order to construct that
computer independent view. Finally, a software
solution is build and starts the path of a new
generation of interoperable, knowledge-base,
adaptable and reusable solutions.
