## Description

## Ontology Info

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Acronyme | HSPO |
| Description | The HSPO is an ontology that aims to represent and link together information about an individual from multiple domains. This work is motivated by the need to better understand the drivers of health outcomes that may arise from other domains including, but not limited to, the social determinants of health (e.g. ethnicity, transportation, education). This ontology can also describe a group of individuals that share similar characteristics (i.e. a cohort). Through this ontology we attempt to define a number of social contexts or social domains which can be useful to organise information coming from different terminologies such as ICD and SNOMED. <br><br>Git Repository, Documentation and License details: https://github.com/IBM/hspo-ontology<br>Apache License 2.0 |
