A use case for DAML+OIL: a knowledge base in a clinical domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how we have developed a knowledge base for a heuristic application in a clinical domain. Firstly, the knowledge base has been modelled using CommonKADS. Later, the knowledge base has been represented in the language DAML+OIL. We will illustrate in some depth how objects, classes and relationships of a medical domain (modelled following an object-oriented approach) can be specified in the Web language DAML+OIL.

DLDB: Extending Relational Databases to Support Semantic Web Queries
We present DLDB, a knowledge base system that extends a relational database management system with additional capabilities for DAML+OIL inference. We discuss a number of database schemas that can be used to store RDF data and discuss the tradeoffs of each. Then we describe how we extend our design to support DAML+OIL entailments. The most significant aspect of our approach is the use of a descr...
متن کاملSweetDeal: Representing Agent Contracts with Exceptions Using Semantic Web Rules, Ontologies, and Process Descriptions
We address the problem in automated knowledge-based e-contracts of how to represent exception handling provisions – which in many (if not most) natural language contracts constitute the majority of the contract's volume. We make three main novel contributions. First, we newly extend the previous SweetDeal e-contracting approach to incorporate ontology knowledge, specifically ontologies about bu...
متن کاملTransforming UML Domain Descriptions into Configuration Knowledge Bases
In this chapter we emphasize how we can integrate Web-based sales systems for highly complex customizable products and services by making use of the descriptive representation formalisms of the Semantic Web. Building on the equivalence between the consistency based definition and the description logic based definition of configuration [1], we are capable of transforming our application domain-i...
متن کاملManaging Patient Record Instances Using DL-Enabled Formal Concept Analysis
In this paper we describe a general logic-enabled Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) approach to manage patient record instances. In particular, the conceptual model of the domain is represented as a breast cancer imaging ontology using a Description Logic (DL)-based web ontology modelling language, DAML+OIL. Patient records are treated as instances with regard to the ontology. We studied a knowledg...
متن کاملTowards practical taxonomic classification for description logics on the Semantic Web
Description logics offer a well-defined semantics for many common and useful reasoning tasks that can be formalized under the notion of subsumption and are currently finding use as a representation language for the Semantic Web (e.g. DAML+OIL). For this domain, description logics can be highly useful for reasoning about relationships between entities in distributed knowledge bases by classifyin...
