title: A standard ontology for the semantic integration of components in healthcare organizations.
abstract: In this paper we introduce an ontology that covers all the terminology involved in the ODP standard. This ontology has been extended with concepts taken from the prEN12967 in order to apply it in the healthcare domain. Describing components formally and using this ontology, their semantic integration can be eased together with the benefits derived from the assistance to the automatic discovery, selection, invocation and composition of components facilities.
