| The Etablissement français des Greffes (EfG) is a public health agency in charge of organs, tissues and cells transplantation in France. Among EfG's missions is the evaluation of the organ retrieval and transplantation activities, which relies on a national information system (IS). In order to facilitate data recording, to improve information quality and homogeneity, to allow data interchange and semantic interoperability with hospital information systems and other registries, a specific work as been initiated dealing with ontological foundations of medical terminology in the domain of organ failure and transplantation.
