TY - JOUR AU - Yamagata, Yuki AU - Kozaki, Kouji AU - Imai, Takeshi AU - Ohe, Kazuhiko AU - Mizoguchi, Riichiro PY - 2014 DA - 2014/05/21 TI - An ontological modeling approach for abnormal states and its application in the medical domain JO - Journal of Biomedical Semantics SP - 23 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Recently, exchanging data and information has become a significant challenge in medicine. Such data include abnormal states. Establishing a unified representation framework of abnormal states can be a difficult task because of the diverse and heterogeneous nature of these states. Furthermore, in the definition of diseases found in several textbooks or dictionaries, abnormal states are not directly associated with the corresponding quantitative values of clinical test data, making the processing of such data by computers difficult.
