Summary

Recommendation ITU-T H.862.2 describes the framework of annotation methods for biosignal data. This Recommendation focuses on the method of temporally expressing the occurrence interval of an event generated from a biosignal, and the ontology for label mapping.

In many fields of human factors including healthcare, various types of data are produced by different institutions. In recent years, the use of these data in diagnosis, treatment and health management in the healthcare field has become an important issue. Health data generated from medical sites and individuals contains various types of information about health conditions. To utilize this, a process for annotating the obtained biosignal is required. A unified method of expressing data is needed in order to develop annotations across workers at various institutions. This Recommendation covers the ontology for label mapping.
