Functional architecture of the semantic health data warehouse that provides semantic information retrieval (IR) functionalities form clinical data. The 2 data repositories, knowledge data and health data, respectively, maintain the reference knowledge organization systems and the health data pertaining to the semantic health data warehouse. These data are accessed through a not only structured query language (NoSQL) layer by the 3 distinct components: the cross-terminological health terminology and ontology portal (HeTOP), the semantic annotator extracting concepts from multiple terminologies (ECMT), and the semantic search engine (SSE), each operating on a different range of data. CN: clinical narrative; T&O: terminology and ontology.
