Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The adoption of new technologies in clinical care systems has propitiated the availability of a great amount of valuable data. However, this data is usually heterogeneous, requiring its harmonization to be integrated and analysed. We propose a semantic-driven harmonization framework that (1) enables the meaningful sharing and integration of healthcare data across institutions and (2) facilitates the analysis and exploitation of the shared data.
