First, the study analyzes semantic web, Health 2.0 and Health 3.0, semantic web and healthcare information challenges, OWL and linked knowledge, from linked data to linked knowledge, consistent knowledge representation. Secondly, the research analyzes two case studies of the applications of KM in Healthcare. Finally, the study recommends the healthcare industries need to start from customers rather than technology when constructing health 3.0.
