NLM's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS®) - its
purpose is to facilitate the development of computer systems that behave as
if they "understand" the meaning of the language of biomedicine and
health. |
|
NLM's Metathesaurus is a very large, multi-purpose, and
multi-lingual vocabulary database that contains information about biomedical
and health related concepts, their various names, and the relationships among
them. |
|
NLM's Semantic Network consists of (1) a set of broad
subject categories, or Semantic Types, that provide a consistent
categorization of all concepts represented in the UMLS Metathesaurus®, and
(2) a set of useful and important relationships, or Semantic Relations, that
exist between Semantic Types. |

On
the issue of health information, privacy, and public records law, |
|
A 17 Mar 2006 Ohio Supreme Court decision in State ex rel. Cincinnati Enquirer v. Daniels holds that
(1) HIPAA prohibits release of certain records EXCEPT where mandated by any
other law and
(2) Ohio's open records law requires that public records be open unless
there is a specific exemption. |
