Deliverables Overview

This section presents the outcomes of the Health-RI Semantic Interoperability Initiative. Here you will find the concrete artifacts that have been produced, maintained, and released as part of the Initiative:

  • Health-RI Ontology (HRIO) – a common semantic reference model specified in OntoUML and implemented as a gUFO-based OWL ontology, providing a machine-processable semantic hub for aligning health and life sciences data.
  • Health-RI Mapping Vocabulary (HRIV) – an intentional (definitional) mapping vocabulary in OWL defining meaning-mapping relations that explicitly capture ontological commitments (e.g., hriv:hasExactMeaning, hriv:hasBroaderMeaningThan, hriv:hasNarrowerMeaningThan).
  • SSSOM Mapping Set – a curated set of semantic mappings expressed in SSSOM format, linking external ontologies and models to HRIO using HRIV meaning-mapping relations to enable consistent data integration.

Supporting pages in this section include:

  • Ontology Documentation and Specification – the full reference, generated automatically from the ontology.
  • Mapping Set – the downloadable and browsable set of mappings.
  • Changelog – a record of changes across HRIO, HRIV, and mapping releases, ensuring transparency and reproducibility.

Together, these deliverables form the foundation of semantic alignment across Health-RI and provide reusable resources for the broader community.
