ABSTRACT
The One Health framework realizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to health—merging data on humans, animals, and the environment in the analysis of public health events. However, the representation of these multidisciplinary and heterogeneous data sets using a comprehensive and integrated data model is currently lacking in the implementation of One Health in the Philippines. This research introduces the use of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model to represent multidisciplinary health data sets under the One Health framework in the Philippine setting. The data sets undergo profiling and conversion to RDF graphs, identifying key points in the data sets called interface nodes that act as unifying variables between the multidisciplinary domains. A unified RDF graph is produced and assessed for known information, facilitated by the interface nodes for examining discoverable structures and relationships which raise potentially novel insights previously unknown to the heterogeneous data sets.
