Deliverables Overview

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

Status of deliverables

The initiative has been discontinued. These deliverables remain available as released archival artifacts for reference, reuse, and citation, but they are not actively maintained. No further development, curation, or release activity is planned under this initiative. See Initiative Status.

  • 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 constitute the published semantic-alignment resources produced by the initiative and remain reusable by the broader community subject to their documented limitations and licenses.
