资源描述框架（RDF）是HL7快速医疗保健互操作性资源（FHIR）规范中的三种标准化数据格式之一，被医疗保健和研究组织用于连接FHIR和非FHIR数据。然而，RDF以前没有被集成到流行的FHIR工具包中，阻碍了语义Web和其他社区采用FHIR RDF。研究的目的是开发和评估一个基于Java的FHIR RDF数据转换工具包，以方便FHIR RDF数据的使用和验证。我们扩展了流行的HAPI FHIR工具来添加RDF支持，从而使XML或JSON中的FHIR数据能够转换为RDF或从RDF转换。我们还开发了一个基于RDF形状表达式（ShEx）的验证框架，以验证FHIR RDF数据是否符合FHIR R4和R5版本的FHIR规范中提供的ShEx模式。ShEx验证的有效性通过与FHIR规范中包含的2693个FHIR R4示例和2197个FHIR R5示例进行测试来证明。在R5示例中总共发现了5种类型的错误，包括缺少属性、未知元素、缺少resourceType、无效属性值和未知资源名称，证明了ShEx在不断发展的R5开发质量保证中的价值。这个基于HAPI和ShEx的FHIR RDF数据转换和验证框架非常健壮，可供社区采用FHIR RDF、提高FHIR数据质量和发展FHIR规范。
Resource Description Framework (RDF) is one of the three standardized data formats in the HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) specification and is being used by healthcare and research organizations to join FHIR and non-FHIR data. However, RDF previously had not been integrated into popular FHIR tooling packages, hindering the adoption of FHIR RDF in the semantic web and other communities. The objective of the study is to develop and evaluate a Java based FHIR RDF data transformation toolkit to facilitate the use and validation of FHIR RDF data. We extended the popular HAPI FHIR tooling to add RDF support, thus enabling FHIR data in XML or JSON to be transformed to or from RDF. We also developed an RDF Shape Expression (ShEx)-based validation framework to verify conformance of FHIR RDF data to the ShEx schemas provided in the FHIR specification for FHIR versions R4 and R5. The effectiveness of ShEx validation was demonstrated by testing it against 2693 FHIR R4 examples and 2197 FHIR R5 examples that are included in the FHIR specification. A total of 5 types of errors including missing properties, unknown element, missing resourceType, invalid attribute value, and unknown resource name in the R5 examples were revealed, demonstrating the value of the ShEx in the quality assurance of the evolving R5 development. This FHIR RDF data transformation and validation framework, based on HAPI and ShEx, is robust and ready for community use in adopting FHIR RDF, improving FHIR data quality, and evolving the FHIR specification.
