Abstract
This paper describes ongoing work carried out in the European project
PAL which will support children in their diabetes self-management as
well as assist health professionals and parents involved in the diabetes
regimen of the child.
Here, we will focus on the construction of the PAL ontology which
has been assembled from several independently developed sub-ontologies
and which are brought together by a set of hand-written interface axioms,
expressed in OWL.
We will describe in detail how the triple model of RDF has been extended
towards transaction time in order to represent time-varying data.
Examples of queries and rules involving temporal information will be
presented as well.
The approach is currently been in use in diabetes camps.
