Olivier Bodenreider Second International Workshop on Formal Biomedical Knowledge Representation
Reusability of patient data for clinical research or quality assessment relies on structured, coded data. Terminological systems (TS) are meant to support this. It is hardly known how compositional TS-based registration affects the correctness and specificity of information, as compared to free-text registration. In this observational study free-text reasons for admission (RfA) in intensive car...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Ontologies
Knowledge representation and reasoning aims at designing computer systems that reason about a machine-interpretable representation of the world. Knowledge-based systems have a computational model of some domain of interest in which symbols serve as surrogates for real world domain artefacts, such as physical objects, events, relationships, etc. [1]. The domain of interest can cover any part of ...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Ontologies
Ontologies have become important tools in biomedicine, supporting critical aspects of both health care and biomedical research, including clinical research [1]. Some even see ontologies as integral to science [2]. Unlike terminologies (focusing on naming) and classification systems (developed for partitioning a domain), ontologies define the types of entities that exist, as well as their interr...
متن کاملA formal theory for spatial representation and reasoning in biomedical ontologies
OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how a formal spatial theory can be used as an important tool for disambiguating the spatial information embodied in biomedical ontologies and for enhancing their automatic reasoning capabilities. METHOD AND MATERIALS This paper presents a formal theory of parthood and location relations among individuals, called Basic Inclusion Theory (B...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation with Autonomic Ontologies
The important role given to domain ontologies for knowledge representation implies increasing need for development and maintenance of them. However, we have a scarcity of tools supporting the life cycle from creation to management and adaptation. Our research group focuses on developing an autonomic process for knowledge representation through a systematic evaluation and redesign of ontologies....
