Table 1 Representations of abnormal states
From: An ontological modeling approach for abnormal states and its application in the medical domain
(a) Representation | Abnormal states Property (P) | Property Value (Vp) | Attribute (A) | Attribute Value (V) | Object (O) | Sub-Object (SO) | |
Basic representation | Gasrtectasia (gastric dilation) | True | Volume | Large | Stomach | ||
Nausea | True | Patient | |||||
Extended representation | Hyperglycemia | True | Concentration | High | Blood | Glucose | |
Gastric polyposis | True | Number | Many | Stomach | Polyp | ||
(b) Variant of Ratio | Abnormal states Property (P) | Property Value (Vp) | Attribute (A) | Attribute Value (V) | Object (O) | Sub-Object (SO) | Ratio |
m/n (no unit) | High m ratio | True | Ratio | High | The whole | Focused | m/n |
Example | Hyperglycemia | True | Concentration | High | blood | glucose | Glucose/Blood |
m/n (focused on m of same object) | High m ratio | True | Ratio | High | Object | m | m/n |
Example | High Albumin ratio | True | Concentration | High | Urine | Albumin | Albumin/Creatinine |
m/n (focused on the ratio of same object) | High m/n ratio | True | Ratio | High | Object | m/n | |
Example | Increased A/G ratio | True | Ratio | High | Blood | A/G | Albumin/Globulin |
