In this 2020 paper published in the journal Sustainability, Lee et al. provide details on their FHIR-based personal health record (PHR) system in Taiwan, which arguably has one of the best health systems in the world. With the Taiwan National Health Insurance Administration wanting to give its citizens more control over the health data, the demand has been there to improve how the average person can take a more proactive stance with their medical treatment. After reviewing relevant literature, the authors describe the evolution of their PHR platform, including content analysis, data conversion, networking, authentication, and security. Then, based upon their results, they conclude that the process of taking PHR data and applying international standards to its organization and presentation, they were able to effectively "achieve interoperability as well as capture and share data using FHIR resources and formats" while maintaining a sturdy but flexible user authentication mechanism.

A data management plan (DMP) is a formally developed document that describes how data shall be handled both during research efforts and afterwards. However, as Weng and Thoben point out in this 2020 paper, "it a problem that DMPs [typically] do not include a structured approach for the identification or mitigation of risks" to that research data. The authors develop and propose a generic risk catalog for researchers to use in the development of their DMP, while demonstrating that catalog's value. After providing and introduction and related work, they present their catalog, developed from interviews with researchers across multiple disciplines. They then compare that catalog to 13 DMPs published in the journal RIO. They conclude that their approach is "useful for identifying general risks in DMPs" and that it may also be useful to research "funders, since it makes it possible for them to evaluate basic investment risks of proposed projects."Citrine Partners With Siemens to Accelerate Digital Transformation in the Materials and Chemicals Industry
