International initiatives pursue the use of semantically interoperable clinical models, and ontologies have frequently been used in semantic interoperability efforts. The objective of this paper is to propose a generic, ontology-based, flexible approach for supporting the automatic transformation of clinical models, which is illustrated for the transformation of Clinical Element Models (CEMs) into openEHR archetypes.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods Our transformation method exploits the fact that the information models of the most relevant EHR specifications are available in the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The transformation approach is based on defining mappings between those ontological structures. We propose a way in which CEM entities can be transformed into openEHR by using transformation templates and OWL as common representation formalism. The transformation architecture exploits the reasoning and inferencing capabilities of OWL technologies.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results We have devised a generic, flexible approach for the transformation of clinical models, implemented for the unidirectional transformation from CEM to openEHR, a series of reusable transformation templates, a proof-of-concept implementation, and a set of openEHR archetypes that validate the methodological approach.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions We have been able to transform CEM into archetypes in an automatic, flexible, reusable transformation approach that could be extended to other clinical model specifications. We exploit the potential of OWL technologies for supporting the transformation process. We believe that our approach could be useful for international efforts in the area of semantic interoperability of EHR systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocu027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,11]],"date-time":"2015-02-11T04:04:50Z","timestamp":1423627490000},"page":"536-544","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Transformation of standardized clinical models based on OWL technologies: from CEM to OpenEHR archetypes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda del Carmen","family":"Legaz-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Inform\u00e1tica y Sistemas, Universidad de Murcia, IMIB-Arrixaca, 30100 Spain"}]},{"given":"Marcos","family":"Men\u00e1rguez-Tortosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Inform\u00e1tica y Sistemas, Universidad de Murcia, IMIB-Arrixaca, 30100 Spain"}]},{"given":"Jesualdo Tom\u00e1s","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Breis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Inform\u00e1tica y Sistemas, Universidad de Murcia, IMIB-Arrixaca, 30100 Spain"}]},{"given":"Christopher G","family":"Chute","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Research, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA"}]},{"given":"Cui","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Informatics, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020110613005650200_ocu027-B1","article-title":"Semantic interoperability for better health and safer healthcare.
