| Abstract | The Virtual Physiological Human [1] aims to provide a systematic framework for understanding physiological processes in the human body in terms of anatomical structure and biophysical mechanisms at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In the long term such an approach will transform the delivery of healthcare into a more personalised, predictive and integrative process, with significant impact on healthcare and on disease prevention. The integrative approach to medicine advocated for by the VPH encompasses a wide range of domains, and all share a common issue: the need to integrate different forms of information. This integration will only be possible in a cost-effective manner if the semantics (biological meaning) associated with the relevant data sources are appropriately captured and formally represented in a machine processable form, including a set of ontologies adequate for each specific domain. |
