Ontology-Based Error Detection in SNOMED-CT®
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quality assurance in large terminologies is a difficult issue. We present two algorithms that can help terminology developers and users to identify potential areas of improvement. We demonstrate the methodology by applying the algorithms to one of the most popular terminologies, SNOMED-CT. Analysis of the results provides evidence for the thesis that both formal logical and linguistic tools should be used in the development and quality-assurance process of large terminologies.

Background and Aim: Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine systems are the important supportive for electronic health record in registration and retrieval of data. Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is the most comprehensive language and then the consistency of exchanged data across health care providers and finally the high effectiveness of health care. Material...
متن کاملHow should parthood relations be expressed in SNOMED CT?
The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine, Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is a clinical terminology with a broad coverage of health care, which has been developed with the help of a rather inexpressive description logic dialect known as EL [1]. The advantage of using a description logic (DL) for defining a medical ontology is that, instead of error-prone “hierarchy engineering,” where each newly in...
متن کاملLearning Formal Definitions for Snomed CT from Text
Snomed CT is a widely used medical ontology which is formally expressed in a fragment of the Description Logic EL++. The underlying logics allow for expressive querying, yet make it costly to maintain and extend the ontology. Existing approaches for ontology generation mostly focus on learning superclass or subclass relations and therefore fail to be used to generate Snomed CT definitions. In t...
متن کاملCan SNOMED CT be squeezed without losing its shape?
BACKGROUND In biomedical applications where the size and complexity of SNOMED CT become problematic, using a smaller subset that can act as a reasonable substitute is usually preferred. In a special class of use cases-like ontology-based quality assurance, or when performing scaling experiments for real-time performance-it is essential that modules show a similar shape than SNOMED CT in terms o...
