The National Center for Biomedical Ontology
Research Interests
The construction of automated systems to assist biomedical decision making is impeded by difficulties in formalizing knowledge and in encoding that knowledge for use by the computer. Current work in our laboratory addresses mechanisms by which computers can assist in the development of large, electronic biomedical knowledge bases. Emphasis is placed on new methods for the automated generation of computer-based tools that end-users can use to enter knowledge of specific biomedical content. In particular, we are studying:
- Development of reusable domain descriptions (ontologies) and problem-solving methods
- Automated generation of knowledge-acquisition tools from domain ontologies
- Visual metaphors to facilitate knowledge entry by application specialists
- Decision-support systems for protocol-based care
- Representation of biomedical concepts and terminologies for development of intelligent systems
The Protégé system provides a uniform infrastructure for our work on knowledge modeling and representation.
The National Center for Biomedical Ontology, supported by the NIH Roadmap, develops a new generation of technology for storing, accessing, evaluating, and using online biomedical knowledge resources.
