  • web Ontology language requirements w r t expressiveness of taxonomy and axioms in medicine
    International Semantic Web Conference, 2003
    Co-Authors: Christine Golbreich, Olivier Dameron, Bernard Gibaud, Anita Burgun
    Abstract:

    An important issue is to know whether Web Ontology languages, meet the expected requirements of expressiveness and reasoning. This paper aims at contributing to this question in evaluating and comparing several languages. After describing the needs of a Semantic Web in medicine, it analyses Protege and DAML+OIL primitives on a concrete Medical Ontology, the brain cortex anatomy Ontology. It draws conclusions about the requirements that a Web Ontology language should meet for the representation of Medical taxonomy and axioms. The expressiveness of DAML+OIL or OWL DL seems suited to describe the complex taxonomic knowledge. But rules are required for representing the deductive knowledge (dependencies between relations) and to support several tasks (Ontology construction, maintenance, verification, query of heterogeneous distributed information sources). Finally, the paper evaluates the features of the next standard OWL and of an hybrid language CARIN-ALNwith respect to these requirements.

  • AIMDM - A Medical Ontology Library That Integrates the UMLS MetathesaurusTM
    Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, 1999
    Co-Authors: Domenico M Pisanelli, Aldo Gangemi, Geri Steve
    Abstract:

    Paper-based terminology systems cannot satisfy anymore the new desiderata of healthcare information systems: the demand for re-use and sharing of patient data, their transmission and the need of semantic-based criteria for purposive statistical aggregation. The unambiguous communication of complex and detailed Medical concepts is now a crucial feature of Medical information systems. Ontologies can support a more effective data and knowledge sharing in medicine. In this paper we survey the ontological analysis performed on the top-levels of some important Medical terminology systems (an outcome of the ONIONS methodology) and we sketch out the ontological analysis performed on the UMLS Metathesaurus™. We show the convenience of an ontological approach in dealing with the different conceptualizations behind Medical terminologies and the polysemy of terms. The multiple classification in UMLS is shown to be a phenomenon of polysemy and not one of multiple subsumption.
