Semantic layer & knowledge infrastructure
Underlying the knowledge ecosystem is a developing semantic layer and knowledge infrastructure. It provides a structured framework for organising concepts, methods, people, publications and evidence, creating machine-readable relationships that support discovery, verification, knowledge graphs and AI systems.
Taxonomy
Expertise classification
A structured classification of expertise areas, concepts and methods organised across Health Economics, Pharmacy Practice and Health Systems.
Concepts
Concepts, methods & entities
Structured pages for concepts, methods, people, books and publications, creating relationships between expertise areas, publications and knowledge resources.
Machine-readable
Structured identity records
JSON-LD, RDF/Turtle and structured metadata describing people, publications, profiles and their relationships in a form readable by search engines, archives and AI systems.
Future knowledge graph development
The longer-term goal is a connected knowledge graph linking people, concepts, methods, publications, organisations and evidence across the ecosystem. This structure will support knowledge discovery, topic navigation, collaborator mapping and machine-readable relationships.
People
People & identity records
Structured identity records for people within the ecosystem, linking ORCID, ISNI, Wikidata, publications, affiliations and related contributions.
Publications
Publication & concept relationships
Publications connected to concepts, methods, expertise areas and evidence sources, enabling topic-based discovery rather than title-based browsing.
Relationships
People & collaboration networks
Relationships between authors, collaborators, institutions and publications, forming a structured collaborator and expertise network.
Collaborator network
The publication record includes collaborative work across academic, public-sector and industry contexts.
Browse co-authorsIdeas universe
An intellectual map of the major concepts, methods, expertise areas and research themes that run through Dr Baines' work. It connects publications, concepts, methods and future wiki content into a coherent knowledge structure.
Health Economics
Economic evaluation & HTA
Cost-effectiveness analysis, QALYs, ICERs, Markov modelling, model verification and decision-analytic methods.
Pharmacy Practice
Prescribing & pharmacy policy
ASTRO-PU, prescribing budgets, GP fundholding, community pharmacy economics and pharmaceutical policy.
Health Systems
Systems, reform & productivity
NHS reform, health-system productivity, health-system strengthening and international health-economics partnerships.
Methods
Formal & semantic methods
Formal modelling, semantic methods, machine-readable knowledge systems, knowledge graphs and AI-assisted analysis.
Intelligent Parameters
ACTIVE INITIATIVE
Work on AI and human intelligence, including evidence interpretation, decision-making, formal modelling, semantic methods and knowledge organisation.

LONG-TERM PROJECT
A long-term research initiative exploring judgment, uncertainty, decision-making and the relationship between human and artificial intelligence. The project extends the ecosystem beyond health economics into knowledge organisation, cognitive methods and intelligence systems.
Darrin Baines ecosystem
darrinbaines.org is the canonical identity and verification site. The wider ecosystem helps users move from identity and evidence to deeper knowledge, training and consultancy.

Now — Active
Canonical identity & verification ecosystem
darrinbaines.org as the canonical identity and verification site, HealthEconomics.wiki as the primary knowledge platform, supported by structured metadata and machine-readable records.
Next — In development
Semantic layer & expertise taxonomy
Structured classification of expertise areas, concepts and methods. Publication-to-expertise tagging and concept definitions linked to wiki articles.
Planned
Collaborator knowledge graph
Co-author index derived from ORCID publication records. Canonical identity pages for collaborators, linking to shared publications and institutional affiliations.
Planned
Ideas universe & concept graph
A navigable map of concepts, methods and research themes — connecting publications, wiki articles, expertise areas and people into a unified knowledge structure.
Long-term
Full knowledge graph & GEO layer
Machine-readable knowledge graph optimised for AI discovery, generative engine optimisation and linked open data, connecting identity, publications, concepts and collaborators.
