A Semantic Web Services for Medical Analysis using the OWL-S Language
Zaidi Faycal, Touahria Mohamed · 2011
The merger of the Semantic Web with the Web Service giving rise to Semantic Web Service, this new technology allows software agents to discover, select, call, compose, invoke, and execute automatically a Web services without the intervention of human beings. In this article, we will apply this new technology in the medical field, specifically in medical analysis, by the construction of two ontologies: a domain ontology "Medical analysis domain ontology", following the method METHONTOLOGY and using OWL language and PROÉGÉ tool, and an ontology of web services medical "Medical analysis Web services ontology", using OWL-S language, OWL-S EDITOR for PROTÉGÉ tool and the Integrated Development Environment "NetBeans IDE". The ontology of Web services uses the concepts of domain ontology to define and describe the IOPEs (inputs/outputs/Preconditions/Effects) of Web service. These two ontologies are used by a health care system; it includes all those involved in the process of care, human actors
