Abstract

The use of semantic technologies in practical scenarios requires carefully balancing the tradeoff between costs and benefits in order to gain acceptance. In this chapter we report on a project conducted together with the Austrian competent authority in regard to safety in healthcare. It is described how semantic technologies can be combined with conceptual models to support management executives in the distribution of knowledge and the analysis of compliance. The approach is based on a step-wise semantic enrichment of conceptual models with formal semantic schemata in order to support human analyses. It has been implemented on the ADONIS meta modeling platform and applied to a scenario dealing with the management of applications for clinical trials.
