OWL-based Reasoning Methods for Validating Archetyped Clinical Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most advanced Electronic Healthcare Records architectures represent clinical knowledge by means of archetypes. Consequently, guaranteeing the correctness and consistency of such archetypes becomes crucial for the success of those architectures. In this work, we present a method that uses OWL and reasoners for evaluating the consistency of the archetypes. This method has been validated through its application to the openEHR archetype repository, which is the largest available one nowadays. The results of this validation are also reported in this study.

Exploiting OWL Reasoning Services to Execute Ontologically-Modeled Clinical Practice Guidelines
Ontology-based modeling of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) is a well-established approach to computerize CPG for execution in clinical decision support systems. Many CPG computerization approaches use the Web Ontology Language (OWL) to represent the CPG’s knowledge, but they do not exploit its reasoning services to execute the CPG. In this paper, we present our CPG execution approach that le...
متن کاملPharmacogenomic knowledge representation, reasoning and genome-based clinical decision support based on OWL 2 DL ontologies
BACKGROUND Every year, hundreds of thousands of patients experience treatment failure or adverse drug reactions (ADRs), many of which could be prevented by pharmacogenomic testing. However, the primary knowledge needed for clinical pharmacogenomics is currently dispersed over disparate data structures and captured in unstructured or semi-structured formalizations. This is a source of potential ...
متن کاملValidating Semistructured Data Using OWL
Semistructured data has become prevalent in both web applications and database systems. This rapid growth in use makes the design of good semistructured data essential. Formal semantics and automated reasoning tools enable us to reveal the inconsistencies in a semistructured data model and its instances. The Object Relationship Attribute model for Semistructured data (ORASS) is a graphical nota...

There has been a rapid growth in the use of semistructured data in both web applications and database systems. Consequently, the design of good semistructured data models is essential. In the relational database area, algorithms have been defined to transform a relational schema from one form to a more suitable form, using algorithms such as normalization, and these algorithms have been shown t...
متن کاملEmpowering OWL with Overriding Inheritance, Conflict Resolution and Non-monotonic Reasoning
The popularity of OWL for knowledge representation in the Semantic Web applications makes it an attractive platform. Although OWL supports some form of object-oriented features for knowledge structuring and maintenance, it is significantly weak in capturing most essential object-oriented features such as single and multiple inheritance, default class values, methods, overriding and encapsulatio...
