Exploring Metadata Catalogs in Health Care Data Ecosystems: Taxonomy Development Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the European health care industry, recent years have seen increasing investments in data ecosystems to "FAIRify" and capitalize the ever-rising amount of health data. Within such networks, health metadata catalogs (HMDCs) assume a key function as they enable data allocation, sharing, and use practices. By design, HMDCs orchestrate health information for the purpose of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR). However, despite various European initiatives pushing health care data ecosystems forward, actionable design knowledge about HMDCs is scarce. This impedes both their effective development in practice and their scientific exploration, causing huge unused innovation potential of health data.
