The Artemis project is an European Commission funded project that aims to define a Semantic Web Service-based P2P Infrastructure for the Interoperability of Medical Information Systems.
Among its main purposes are:
- the ability to provide the interoperability of medical information systems through semantically enriched Web services (using a to phase process through, first a Message Ontology Mapping Process and then a Message Instance Mapping);
- to find and retrieve clinical information about a particular patient from different healthcare organizations where concrete sources are unknown.
The project started in 2004 and is a joint effort of Turkey, UK, Greece and Germany teams.
