Report on the First International Workshop on Semantic Web Technologies for Health Data Management (SWH 2018)

Abstract

Better information management is the key to a more intelligent health and social system. To this direction, many challenges must be first overcome, enabling seamless, effective and efficient access to various health data sets and novel methods for exploiting the available information. The First International Workshop on Semantic Web Technologies for Health Data Management aimed at bringing together an interdisciplinary audience interested in the fields of semantic web, data management and health informatics to discuss the challenges in health-care data management and to propose novel and practical solutions for the next generation data-driven health-care systems. In this paper, we summarize the outcomes of the first instance of the workshop, and we present interesting conclusions and key messages.
