Development of Health Information Search Engine Based on Metadata and Ontology

چکیده
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to develop a metadata and ontology-based health information search engine ensuring semantic interoperability to collect and provide health information using different application programs. METHODS Health information metadata ontology was developed using a distributed semantic Web content publishing model based on vocabularies used to index the contents generated by the information producers as well as those used to search the contents by the users. Vocabulary for health information ontology was mapped to the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), and a list of about 1,500 terms was proposed. The metadata schema used in this study was developed by adding an element describing the target audience to the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. RESULTS A metadata schema and an ontology ensuring interoperability of health information available on the internet were developed. The metadata and ontology-based health information search engine developed in this study produced a better search result compared to existing search engines. CONCLUSIONS Health information search engine based on metadata and ontology will provide reliable health information to both information producer and information consumers.

متن کاملQuerying the Semantic Web with Corese Search Engine
This paper presents an ontology-based approach for web querying, using semantic metadata. We propose a query language based on ontologies and emphasize its ability to express approximate queries, useful for an efficient information retrieval on the web. We present the Corese search engine dedicated to RDF(S) metadata and illustrate it through several real-world applications.

متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...
