Abstract

The Semantic Web (SW) is starting to change how we understand complex data across different disciplines. This review explores the importance of SW in systems that combining medicine and sustainability. These two fields need structured data and governed data systems. We examine the utilization of SW technologies in clinical decision support systems (CDSS), electronic health records (EHRs), and environmental monitoring systems. In healthcare especially, these technologies enhance the accuracy of diagnosis and help in integrating heterogeneous health systems. In addition to developing the personalized care systems. In sustainability, these technologies help in assessment of life cycle and in preparing environmental policies. In addition to ecosystem-wide data synthesis through vocabularies like ENVO and SWEET. At the intersection of health and environment, SW supports interdisciplinary models like Planetary Health and One Health through linked data approaches that is used to understand the climate-sensitive diseases and sustainable public health. The current challenges are also discussed in this review which consist interoperability, privacy, reasoning scalability, and highlight. Future directions, including AI integration, federated knowledge graphs, and regulatory frameworks are highlighted as well.
