&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  3. expert&lt;br /&gt;

Question 3a Ontology Value - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;content management, interoperability, discovery, decision support&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3b Ontology Issues - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;convincing the masses of the value of ontologies, proving ROI, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
educating that ontology is not equal to data model&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3c Ontology Problems - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;educating that ontology is not equal to data model, proving ROI&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3d Corresponding Solutions - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In the healthcare community, get HITSP members to understand the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
difference between an ontology and a data model, that standard terminology &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
alone will not provide interoperability.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4aGlossary - &lt;br /&gt;
Ontology-related 'vocabulary' and representative 'artifact' from your constituency or community: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Term:  ontology&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloss:  (Not Answered)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reference (citation/url):  (Not Answered)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Artifact (name/version):  SNOMED CT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Artifact Ref. (url):  (Not Answered) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4a1 Called An Ontology - &lt;br /&gt;
On a scale of 1 to 5, (where 1 means totally unlikely and 5 means almost always), would the above term or artifact be referred to as an &amp;quot;ontology&amp;quot; in your community? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  1. 1 - totally unlikely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  2. 2 - rarely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  3. 3 - sometimes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[X]  4. 4 - quite often&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  5. 5 - almost always &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4a2 Additional Remarks - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Although SNOMED CT is built using description logics, I do not consider &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it a 'true' ontology.  It has too many compound (precoordinated) concepts.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It does not have natural language text definitions.  It is inconsistently &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
modeled.  SNOMED CT is trying to be too many things to too many people/groups.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4bGlossary - &lt;br /&gt;
Ontology-related 'vocabulary' and representative 'artifact' from your constituency or community: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Term:  nomenclature&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloss:  (Not Answered)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reference (citation/url):  (Not Answered)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4b1 Called An Ontology - &lt;br /&gt;
On a scale of 1 to 5, (where 1 means totally unlikely and 5 means almost always), would the above term or artifact be referred to as an &amp;quot;ontology&amp;quot; in your community? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[X]  1. 1 - totally unlikely&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  2. 2 - rarely&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  4. 4 - quite often&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  5. 5 - almost always &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4b2 Additional Remarks - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Cited as a medical device interoperability standard (ISO/IEEE 11073), &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the nomenclature section is touted by the developers as the key to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
semantic interoperability.  The standard has not been widely &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
implemented and is not in any format that is computable.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4cGlossary - &lt;br /&gt;
Ontology-related 'vocabulary' and representative 'artifact' from your constituency or community: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Term:  thesaurus&lt;br /&gt;

Question 4c1 Called An Ontology - &lt;br /&gt;
On a scale of 1 to 5, (where 1 means totally unlikely and 5 means almost always), would the above term or artifact be referred to as an &amp;quot;ontology&amp;quot; in your community? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  1. 1 - totally unlikely&lt;br /&gt;

[  ]  4. 4 - quite often&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  5. 5 - almost always &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 4c2 Additional Remarks - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Originally developed to tag CDC web pages to improve search and retrieval.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CDC changed web search strategies and the thesaurus is being used by some &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in CDC to tag internal documents.  The structure was changed from a [[MeSH]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
model to an IS-A taxonomy with the intent to grow to an ontology.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Funding was cut.  CDC is putting efforts into building 'value sets'.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thesaurus has the potential to be the glue to link the value sets &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as well as assist with discovery and decision support - if it were funded.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
