    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Epidemiology
    • Medical Terminology
    • Data Management

    Background:

    • Familiarity with veterinary terms like diseases and diagnoses can lead to imprecise usage.
    • Practical implications often overshadow the logical and semantic precision of these terms.
    • Growing interest in epidemiological surveys necessitates clearer terminology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the need for precise language in veterinary epidemiology.
    • To clarify the logical implications of using terms such as diseases and diagnoses.
    • To inform the design of computerised data banks for epidemiological purposes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of foundational concepts based on Scadding (1967).
    • Incorporation of practical experience in designing a computerised data bank.
