A compositional approach to nursing terminology.

چکیده
The development of standardised vocabularies within nursing has been an important research activity for a number of years. Current representations generally take the form of taxonomic vocabularies. These are seen as important as they provide a structure for retrieving and analysing data from automated systems. However, there is increasing evidence to show that traditional taxonomic vocabularies are unsuitable for capturing detailed clinical data. This paper describes how GRAIL (GALEN Representation and Integration Language) is being used within the TELENURSE project to develop a representation of nursing terminology which is sufficiently expressive for documenting detailed clinical data while retaining the benefits of traditional taxonomic vocabularies.

Terminology work in nursing has given rise to an increasing number of nursing terminologies. These generally take the form of controlled vocabularies. Because of the limitations of the controlled vocabulary approach, individual terminologies tend to be tuned to meet the specific needs of their intended users. Differences between terminologies are now a significant barrier to the comparison and ...

In response to the need to support diverse and complex information requirements, nursing has developed a number of different terminology systems.
