METHOD OF FORMALIZING TEMPORAL ASPECTS IN EVENTS OF AN ELECTRONIC PATIENT RECORD

摘要

Data regarding at least one event are extracted from a data repository and subjected to a syntactic transformation into a first semantic representation if needed. Extracted and transformed data are converted into a representation with explicit semantics regarding temporal information. If the extracted data comprise no explicit temporal data, temporal data are deduced from other extracted data pertaining to the event and attached to the event data. The results can be applied for temporal reasoning.
