Abstract:
The goal of our work is to facilitate the development of medical knowledge-based systems by providing a library of reusable ontologies. The availability of such a library reduces the amount of knowledge acquisition required to create knowledge bases of new applications, and makes it easier to connect a knowledge-based system to existing data bases. This article presents a case study in constructing such a library. The emphasis is on studying the principles that underly the internal structure of the library as well as on the process of constructing and using the library. We envision that, in the future, application ontologies can be constructed by the selection and refinement of generic ontologies and domain ontologies from such a library.
