Segmenting and Merging Domain-specific Ontology Modules for Clinical Informatics

چکیده
A significant set of challenges to the use of large, source ontologies in the medical domain include: automated translation, customization of source ontologies, and performance issues associated with the use of logical reasoning systems to interpret the meaning of a domain captured in a formal knowledge representation. SNOMED-CT and FMA are two reference ontologies that cover much of the domain of clinical informatics and motivate a better means for re-use. In this paper, we present a method for segmenting and merging modules from these ontologies for a specific domain that preserve the meaning of the anatomy terms they have in

Reuse with Domain and Process Ontologies
Although several generic process ontologies have been proposed in the past, the design of process ontologies for specific domains remains a challenge. Earlier work by Aameri that provided a methodology for specifying a domain process ontology requires a characterization of the partial automorphisms of the models of an underlying static domain ontology. In this paper, we exploit the modularizati...
متن کاملExtracting and Merging Contextualized Ontology Modules
Ontology module extraction, from a large ontology, leads to the generation of a specialized knowledge model that is pertinent to specific problems. Existing ontology module extraction methods tend to either render a too generalized or a too restricted ontology module that at times does not capture the entire semantics of the source ontology. We present an ontology module extraction method that ...
متن کاملPublic Transport Ontology for Passenger Information Retrieval
Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملModule Network Model for Ontology Merging
Ontologies are an important feature of Semantic Web. The massive information created by the exponential growth of webpages requires sharing of ontologies. One of the key features to improve Semantic Web is to develop ontologies. Manual annotations of the webpages require massive amounts of resources. A feasible solution to reduce cost is to build ontologies, merge ontologies and enrich ontologi...
متن کاملEvolutionary learning of Ontology Merging Algorithms
Ontology merging is an activity of merging two or more source ontology’s to get single coherent ontology for extended knowledge. Literature suggests that in past, several ontology merging algorithms have been proposed by researchers for semantic information retrieval. The key idea associated with all those algorithms was how to merge ontology’s semantically which gives the best possible results...
