Web Semantics: Transforming the Healthcare Industry with Cutting-Edge Technologies

By Sarika Jain, the book “Web Semantics: Cutting Edge and Future Directions in Healthcare” delves into the transformative power of web semantics in the healthcare sector. It highlights the three key components of semantic web study: Representation, Reasoning, and Security, with a special emphasis on healthcare applications.

The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the latest trends and research advances in web semantics. It provides an easily understandable overview of web semantics, including semantics for data and semantics for services. This publication is essential for those seeking insights into the emerging research areas of the semantic web, such as ontological engineering, semantic annotation, reasoning, and intelligent processing.

One of the primary focuses of the book is the application of semantic web technologies in biomedical engineering and healthcare. It explores how these technologies can be used to map disparate knowledge bases, address security issues, create multilingual semantic webs, and integrate databases with knowledge bases. The book also delves into various application areas, including clinical decision-making, biodiversity science, interactive healthcare, intelligent agent systems, decision support systems, and clinical natural language processing.

With the healthcare industry undergoing a significant transformation, the integration of web semantics is set to play a pivotal role in enhancing patient care, improving treatment outcomes, and streamlining healthcare operations. This book provides healthcare professionals, researchers, and developers with the knowledge and tools needed to harness the potential of web semantics and drive innovation in the healthcare sector.

Published by Elsevier Science in March 2021, “Web Semantics: Cutting Edge and Future Directions in Healthcare” is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the future of healthcare and the role of web semantics in shaping it. The book is available in English and can be accessed through various online platforms.
