Report on the Second International Workshop on Semantic Web Meets Health Data Management(SWH2019)

摘要

The advancements in health-care have brought to the foreground the need for flexible access to health-related information and created an ever-growing demand for efficient data management infrastructures. To this direction, many challenges must be first overcome, enabling seamless, effective and efficient access to several health data sets and novel methods for exploiting the existing information. The second international workshop on semantic Web technologies for health data management aimed at putting together an interdisciplinary audience that is interested in the fields of semantic web, data management and health informatics to discuss the challenges in health-care data management and to propose new solutions for the next generation data-driven health-care systems. In this article, we summarize the outcomes of the workshop, and we present a number of key observations and research directions that emerge.
