Abstract:

This article discusses an ontology-handling technology to provide on-demand reorganization of is-a hierarchy of diseases instead of one fixed hierarchy to cope with various viewpoints which physicians might have. It is one of the important benefits of our medical ontology which is developed as a Japanese national project. This technology tackles with the multi-perspective issues of medical knowledge.
