Clinical Ontologies Interfacing the Real World
نویسندگان
چکیده
The desideratum of semantic interoperability has been intensively discussed in medical informatics circles in recent years. Originally it was assumed by many that this issue could be addressed simply by insisting on the application of shared clinical terminologies. More recently however the use of the term ‘ontology’ has been steadily growing. We here address the issue of the degree to which the use of ontologies represents any real advance on the road to semantic interoperability.

Kernel Methods for Mining Instance Data in Ontologies
The amount of ontologies and meta data available on the Web is constantly growing. The successful application of machine learning techniques for learning of ontologies from textual data, i.e. mining for the Semantic Web, contributes to this trend. However, no principal approaches exist so far for mining from the Semantic Web. We investigate how machine learning algorithms can be made amenable f...
متن کاملTheoretical andpracticalaspects of interfacing ontologies andlexicalresources
During the last few years, a number of works aiming at interfacing ontologies and lexical resources have been initiated. This paper aims at clarifying the current picture of this domain. It compares ontologies built following different methodologies and analyses their combination with lexical resources. A point defended in the paper is that different methodologies lead to very different charact...

متن کاملCombining Safe Rules and Ontologies by Interfacing of Reasoners
The paper presents a scheme for hybrid integration of rules languages with constraints languages including but not restricted to Description Logic-based ontologies. The proposed scheme is apt for logical rule languages such as Datalog, but also opens up for rules lacking logical semantics, e.g. the XML query and transformation language Xcerpt. To reason in the integrated language, we aim at re-...
