The evolution from a paper-based medical record to an electronic-based one has promoted the healthcare with good efficiency and quality. Although the electronic health records provide a lot of benefits, the whole care information is just stored in the health information system. However, patients cannot review and maintain the records by themselves. Recently, the PHR concept has been brought up, in which people not only can access the information online about their own immunization, allergy, historical illness, surgery, and therapy, etc., but also can store their record the daily health data, such as body weight, and blood pressure, and so on, for physicians via Internet. It will more promote the healthcare with better quality. This research will use the XDS profile offered by the IHE as the basic architecture to build a PHR system. Through setting up ontology in the document registry to provide the more efficiency way figures out needed information by semantic search. This ontology is combined document metadata, ICD-9-CM, and the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set for patient searching the registry to find useful Web resources which recorded by other patients with similar diagnostic. By this architecture, it can achieve the document and knowledge sharing objective. Keywords：Personal Health Record (PHR), Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)
