An Advanced Clinical Ontology
This article discusses a fundamental issues of medical ontology based on ontological theory. We focus on "anatomical structure of organs" and "abnormal states in the human body". On the basis of the investigation, we distinguish organ-specific types from those independent of any organ to maximize the explicitness of ontology. The next feature of our ontology is to allow on-demand reorganization...
متن کاملAn Ontology-based Model of Clinical Information
In this paper we describe a model of clinical information designed to make health information systems properly interoperable and safely computable. The model is a response to a number of categories of requirements, ranging from the semantic to the performance of software at runtime. We argue that the starting point of a successful model must be an ontological analysis of the process of clinical...

Strict knowledge representation criteria stress the importance of distinguishing between the kinds of things that exist in the world and the roles that they play. In the medical domain, clinical Findings are categorized by how they are created and by the role they play in the diagnostic process. However, the essence of Findings is not well represented in medical ontologies. (Figure 1) The objec...

Human studies are the most important source of evidence for advancing our understanding of health and disease. Yet there is no standard method for investigators to query for studies that are relevant to their scientific hypothesis. Querying data and meta-data across clinical trials and observational studies is difficult because of the lack of semantic and terminology standards for describing th...
متن کاملAn Ontology for TNM Clinical Stage Inference
TNM is a classification system for assessment of progression stage of malignant tumors. The physician, upon patient examination, classifies a tumor using three variables: T, N and M. Definitions of values for T, N and M depend on the tumor topography (or body part), specified as ICD-O codes. These values are then used to infer the Clinical Stage (CS) and reflect the disease progression, which c...
