Medical Knowledge Acquisition: An Ontology-Based Approach
基于本体的医学知识获取

In this paper, we introduce an ontology-mediated method for medical knowledge acquisition and analysis. Using the method we establish an ontological structure and ontologies for the Medical Knowledge Base (or NKIMed). To check the consistency of the acquired knowledge, we use a set of medicine-specific axioms. These axioms are also used in knowledge inference, and interconnection between different medical concepts. Finally, two applications of NKIMed, i.e. intelligent teaching systems and speech diagnosis are illustrated.
