INIsPHO Event Series 2007

Metadata and the National Public Health Language (NPHL), Past, Present and Future

Peter Cornelisson
Head of IM&T, Eastern Region Public Health Observatory (ERPHO), England

The use of metadata will be explained by describing resources, with particular reference to the NPHL.  The history of the NPHL will be discussed; where it came from and who was involved, where it stands today. Also covered will be the current project to embed the NPHL as a sub-set of SNOMED CT and the need for a productive Working Group.

The All-Ireland electronic Health Library (AIeHL) and international connections

Kevin P Balanda
Director - Ireland & Northern Ireland's Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO)

The All-Ireland electronic Health Library (AIeHL) is an initiative of Ireland and Northern Ireland's Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO). AIeHL is a network of "interoperable" websites that can be searched simultaneously. Each website contains different types of knowledge resources related to health and well-being including policy and strategy documents, data (numerical and non-numerical), research and evaluation reports, other media, project details, contacts and websites.

The AIeHL support effective decision-making by helping people to more easily bring together knowledge resources that are distributed across many websites.

In this talk we give an outline of the library's development and its connection to international developments.

The seminar ends with coffee & sandwiches.
