In this paper, we introduce MyCampus, a Semantic Web environment for context-aware mobile services, which we are in the process of developing and validating on Carnegie Mellon University's campus. The environment revolves around a growing collection of customizable agents capable of (semi-) automatically discovering and accessing user personal resources (e.g. calendar, location tracking functionality, food preferences) and Web services as they assist their users in carrying out different tasks such as planning an evening out, organizing a study group or filtering incoming messages. The openness of the MyCampus architecture directly derives from a set of ontologies for describing personal resources, contextual attributes, user preferences and web services. Contextual information and other personal details about a user are accessed via a Semantic e-Wallet, subject to access privileges set by the user.

King ED, Wilson MA, Van L, Emanuel FS. Documentation of pharmacotherapeutic interventions of pharmacy students. Pharmacy Practice 2007;5(2):95-98. www.pharmacypractice.org 95 ABSTRACT *During patient care rounds with the medical team, pharmacy students have made positive contributions for the benefit of the patient. However, very little has been documented regarding the impact these future healthcare professionals are making while on clinical rotations. The objective of this study was to assess the impact that clinical interventions made by 6th year pharmacy students had on overall patient outcome. Using a special program for a personal digital assistant (PDA), the students daily recorded the pharmacotherapeutic interventions they made. The interventions ranged from dosage adjustments to providing drug information. Data was collected over a 12-week period from various hospitals and clinics in the Jacksonville, Florida area. In total, there were 89 pharmaceutical interventions performed and recorded by the students. Fifty interventions involved drug modification and fiftyfour interventions were in regards to drug information and consulting. Of the drug information and consulting interventions, 15 were drug modification. This study shows the impact pharmacy students make in identifying, recommending, and documenting clinical pharmacotherapeutic interventions. Similar to pharmacists, pharmacy students can also have a positive contribution towards patient care.
