PhenoMan Evaluation with Synthetic FHIR Data
SMITH - Smart Medical Information Technology for Healthcare, LHA - Leipzig Health Atlas, Onto-Med Research Group

We evaluated if the PhenoMan returns correct/complete result sets and if it is working with real data. To simulate a FHIR health data store with real data we used Synthea(TM) to generate a large data set and imported it into a HAPI FHIR JPA Server. Based on the synthetic data set we developed ten example queries with different structure and complexity with PhenoMan and SQL. We compared the results of the queries in means of execution time and equality of results.

Ontological Modelling and Reasoning of Phenotypes
LHA - Leipzig Health Atlas, Onto-Med Research Group, SMITH - Smart Medical Information Technology for Healthcare

Abstract (Expand)

The successful determination and analysis of phenotypes plays a key role in the diagnostic process, the evaluation of risk factors and the recruitment of participants for clinical and epidemiological … studies. The development of computable phenotype algorithms to solve these tasks is a challenging problem, caused by various reasons. Firstly, the term ‘phenotype’ has no generally agreed definition and its meaning depends on context. Secondly, the phenotypes are most commonly specified as non-computable descriptive documents. Recent attempts have shown that ontologies are a suitable way to handle phenotypes and that they can support clinical research and decision making. The SMITH Consortium is dedicated to rapidly establish an integrative medical informatics framework to provide physicians with the best available data and knowledge and enable innovative use of healthcare data for research and treatment optimization. In the context of a methodological use case “phenotype pipeline” (PheP), a technology to automatically generate phenotype classifications and annotations based on electronic health records (EHR) is developed. A large series of phenotype algorithms will be implemented. This implies that for each algorithm a classification scheme and its input variables have to be defined. Furthermore, a phenotype engine is required to evaluate and execute developed algorithms. In this article we present a Core Ontology of Phenotypes (COP) and a software Phenotype Manager (PhenoMan), which implements a novel ontology-based method to model and calculate phenotypes. Our solution includes an enhanced iterative reasoning process combining classification tasks with mathematical calculations at runtime. The ontology as well as the reasoning method were successfully evaluated based on different phenotypes (including SOFA score, socioeconomic status, body surface area and WHO BMI classification) and several data sets.

Der Leipzig Health Atlas
LHA - Leipzig Health Atlas

Abstract (Expand)

Die Notwendigkeit des Managements von Forschungsdaten ist von der Forschungscommunity erkannt – Sponsoren, Gesetzgeber, Verlage erwarten und fördern die Einhaltung der guten wissenschaftlichen Praxis, … was nicht nur die Archivierung umfasst, sondern auch die Verfügbarkeit von Forschungsdaten- und ergebnissen im Sinne der FAIR-Prinzipien. Der Leipzig Health Atlas (LHA) ist ein Projekt zur Präsentation und zum Austausch eines breiten Spektrums von Publikationen, (bio) medizinischen Daten (z.B. klinisch, epidemiologisch, molekular), Modellen und Tools z.B. zur Risikoberechnung in der Gesundheitsforschung. Die Verbundpartner decken hierbei einen breiten Bereich wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen ab, beginnend von medizinischer Systembiologie über klinische und epidemiologische Forschung bis zu ontologischer und dynamischer Modellierung. Derzeit sind 18 Forschungskonsortien beteiligt (u.a. zu den Domänen Lymphome, Gliome, Sepsis, Erblicher Darm- und Brustkrebs), die Daten aus klinischen Studien, Patientenkohorten, epidemiologischen Kohorten, teilweise mit umfangreichen molekularen und genetischen Profilen, sammeln. Die Modellierung umfasst algorithmische Phänotypklassifizierung, Risikovorhersage und Krankheitsdynamik. Wir konnten in einer ersten Entwicklungsphase zeigen, dass unsere webbasierte Plattform geeignet ist, um (1) Methoden zur Verfügung zu stellen, um individuelle Patientendaten aus Publikationen für eine Weiternutzung zugänglich zu machen, (2) algorithmische Werkzeuge zur Phänotypisierung und Risikoprofilerstellung zu präsentieren, (3) Werkzeuge zur Durchführung dynamischer Krankheits- und Therapiemodelle interaktiv verfügbar zu machen und (4) strukturierte Metadaten zu quantitativen und qualitativen Merkmalen bereit zu stellen. Die semantische Datenintegration liefert hierzu die Technologien (Ontologien und Datamining Werkzeuge) für die (semantische) Datenintegration und Wissensanreicherung. Darüber hinaus stellt sie Werkzeuge zur Verknüpfung eigener Daten, Analyseergebnisse, öffentlich zugänglicher Daten- und Metadaten-Repositorien sowie zur Verdichtung komplexer Daten zur Verfügung. Eine Arbeitsgruppe zur Applikationsentwicklung und –validierung entwickelt innovative paradigmatische Anwendungen für (1) die klinische Entscheidungsfindung für Krebsstudien, die genetische Beratung, für Risikovorhersagemodelle sowie Gewebe- und Krankheitsmodelle und (2) Anwendungen (sog. Apps), die sich auf die Charakterisierung neuer Phänotypen (z.B. ‚omics‘-Merkmale, Körpertypen, Referenzwerte) aus epidemiologischen Studien konzentrieren. Diese Anwendungen werden gemeinsam mit klinischen Experten, Genetikern, Systembiologen, Biometrikern und Bioinformatikern spezifiziert. Der LHA stellt Integrationstechnologie bereit und implementiert die Anwendungen für die User Communities unter Verwendung verschiedener Präsentationswerkzeuge bzw. Technologien (z.B. R-Shiny, i2b2, Kubernetes, SEEK). Dazu ist es erforderlich, die Daten und Metadaten vor dem Hochladen zu kuratieren, Erlaubnisse der Datenbesitzer einzuholen, die erforderlichen Datenschutzkriterien zu berücksichtigen und semantische Annotationen zu überprüfen. Zudem werden die zugelieferten Modellalgorithmen in einer qualitätsgesicherten Weise aufbereitet und, soweit anwendbar, online interaktiv zur Verfügung gestellt. Der LHA richtet sich insbesondere an die Zielgruppen Kliniker, Epidemiologen, Molekulargenetiker, Humangenetiker, Pathologen, Biostatistiker und Modellierer ist aber unter www.healthatlas.de öffentlich zugänglich – aus rechtlichen Gründen erfordert der Zugriff auf bestimmte Applikationen und Datensätze zusätzliche Autorisierung. Das Projekt wird über das BMBF Programm i:DSem (Integrative Datensemantik für die Systemmedizin, Förderkennzeichen 031L0026) gefördert.

Design and Concept of the SMITH Phenotyping Pipeline.
SMITH - Smart Medical Information Technology for Healthcare

Abstract (Expand)

Phenotyping means the determination of clinical relevant phenotypes, e.g. by classification or calculation based on EHR data. Within the German Medical Informatics Initiative, the SMITH consortium is … working on the implementation of a phenotyping pipeline. to extract, structure and normalize information from the EHR data of the hospital information systems of the participating sites; to automatically apply complex algorithms and models and to enrich the data within the research data warehouses of the distributed data integration centers with the computed results. Here we present the overall picture and essential building blocks and workflows of this concept.

Ontology-Based Modelling of Web Content: Example Leipzig Health Atlas
Onto-Med Research Group

Abstract (Expand)

The realisation of a complex web portal, including the modelling of content, is a challenging process. The contents describe different interconnected entities that form a complex structure. The entities … and their relations have to be systematically analysed, and the content has to be specified and integrated into a content management system (CMS). Ontologies provide a suitable solution for modelling and specifying complex entities and their relations. However, the functionality for automated import of ontologies is not available in current content management systems. In order to describe the content of a web portal, we developed an ontology. Based on this ontology, we implemented a pipeline that allows the specification of the portal’s content and its import into the CMS Drupal. Our method is generic. It enables the development of web portals with the focus on a suitable representation of structured knowledge (entities, their properties and relations). Furthermore, it makes it possible to represent existing ontologies in such a way that their content can be understood by users without knowledge of ontologies and their semantics. Our approach has successfully been applied in building the LHA (Leipzig Health Atlas) portal, which provides access to metadata, data, publications and methods from various research projects at the University of Leipzig.

Light-Weighted Automatic Import of Standardized Ontologies into the Content Management System Drupal.
Onto-Med Research Group

Abstract (Expand)

The amount of ontologies, which are utilizable for widespread domains, is growing steadily. BioPortal alone, embraces over 500 published ontologies with nearly 8 million classes. In contrast, the vast … informative content of these ontologies is only directly intelligible by experts. To overcome this deficiency it could be possible to represent ontologies as web portals, which does not require knowledge about ontologies and their semantics, but still carries as much information as possible to the end-user. Furthermore, the conception of a complex web portal is a sophisticated process. Many entities must be analyzed and linked to existing terminologies. Ontologies are a decent solution for gathering and storing this complex data and dependencies. Hence, automated imports of ontologies into web portals could support both mentioned scenarios. The Content Management System (CMS) Drupal 8 is one of many solutions to develop web presentations with less required knowledge about programming languages and it is suitable to represent ontological entities. We developed the Drupal Upper Ontology (DUO), which models concepts of Drupal's architecture, such as nodes, vocabularies and links. DUO can be imported into ontologies to map their entities to Drupal's concepts. Because of Drupal's lack of import capabilities, we implemented the Simple Ontology Loader in Drupal (SOLID), a Drupal 8 module, which allows Drupal administrators to import ontologies based on DUO. Our module generates content in Drupal from existing ontologies and makes it accessible by the general public. Moreover Drupal offers a tagging system which may be amplified with multiple standardized and established terminologies by importing them with SOLID. Our Drupal module shows that ontologies can be used to model content of a CMS and vice versa CMS are suitable to represent ontologies in a user-friendly way. Ontological entities are presented to the user as discrete pages with all appropriate properties, links and tags.
