The goal of this project is to develop a Health IT Ontology (HITO) that allows systematically describing application systems and software products in health IT. Our motivation is that information management professionals have a strong need to share and compare knowledge about health IT in several situations. These situations are, among others, to describe the components of a health information system as part of its strategic or operational management, to select a new software product, to learn about available evidence regarding an application, or to hire or train health IT specialists. However, at the moment, health IT descriptions are not easily comparable. Thus, based on these needs, our motivation is to develop a Health IT Ontology allowing a systematic description of application systems and software products within health information systems (HIS). This will allow easier sharing of knowledge and experiences, support better cooperation when planning and operating HIS and allow evidence-based decision making in information management in health care. The objective of the three-year project is thus to develop a health IT ontology, to connect it with a folksonomy and to verify it in five case studies. To reach these objectives, we will combine an agile research approach and a case-based approach as well as a multi-facet approach to taxonomy development. This project builds on our earlier work such as the 3LGM2 metamodel for hospital information systems, the reference model for the domain layer of a hospital information system, the requirement index for HIS and the Ontology SNIK. Our idea is innovative, as it combines earlier work on health IT terminology with newer approaches of ontology and folksontology development. The Health IT Ontology will allow describing health IT systems in a comparable way, thus supporting both health IT management as well as health IT research and health IT education. HITO will thus contribute to professional health IT management and evidence-based health informatics.

这个项目的目标是开发一个健康IT本体（HITO），允许系统地描述应用系统和软件产品在健康IT.Our动机是，信息管理专业人员有强烈的需求，分享和比较有关健康IT的知识在几种情况下。除其他外，这些情况包括：描述作为战略或业务管理一部分的卫生信息系统的组成部分，选择新的软件产品，了解有关应用程序的现有证据，或雇用或培训卫生信息技术专家。然而，目前，保健信息技术的描述不容易比较。因此，基于这些需求，我们的动机是开发一个健康IT本体，允许系统的描述应用系统和软件产品在健康信息系统（HIS）。这将使知识和经验更容易分享，在规划和操作HIS时支持更好的合作，并允许在医疗保健信息管理中进行循证决策。因此，为期三年的项目的目标是开发一个健康信息技术本体，将其与大众分类法连接起来，并在五个案例研究中进行验证。为了达到这些目标，我们将结合联合收割机敏捷的研究方法和基于案例的方法，以及多方面的方法来分类法的发展。该项目建立在我们早期的工作，如3LGM2元模型的医院信息系统，参考模型的领域层的医院信息系统，HIS和本体SNIK的需求索引。我们的想法是创新的，因为它结合了较早的工作与本体论和民俗学发展的新方法的健康IT术语。健康IT本体将允许以可比的方式描述健康IT系统，从而支持健康IT管理以及健康IT研究和健康IT教育。因此，HITO将有助于专业卫生信息技术管理和循证卫生信息学。
