TKM Ontology Integration and Visualization
Suganya Selvaraj, Eunmi Choi · 2020
Ontology is the most efficient way of representing knowledge and influence relationship about diseases, symptoms, medications, and diagnosis in the traditional medical field. Since integrating traditional medicine ontologies with modern medical ontologies can benefit to the treatment process for effectively using traditional medicines, there is a need for integration and visualization of traditional medicine ontology. Furthermore, an effective ontology visualization is useful to design, manage, and browse the traditional medicine ontology successfully. In this paper, we construct the traditional Korean medicine (TKM) ontology using TKM domain knowledge with a few imported classes from modern medicine ontology and traditional Chinese medicine ontology (TCM) and also visualize the TKM using Web-based Visualization of Ontologies (WebVowl).
