KEMM: A Knowledge Engineering Methodology in the Medical Domain
by:In: Proc. of the 5th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems FOIS
(2008)

Abstract
Medical research and clinical practice deal with complex and heterogeneous
data. This requires a systematic approach for semantic integration
of information to support clinicians in their daily tasks. As the
clinicians speak and think in a very different language than that
of the computer scientists, existing knowledge engineering approaches
based on classical expert interviews fall short. Moreover, as human
health is a very sensitive subject, the reuse of standardized hence
reliable ontologies as medical knowledge resources becomes a key
requirement. In this paper, we first discuss the specific medical
knowledge engineering requirements, we identified along a semantic
medical image and text retrieval use case. Then we report on ongoing
work towards establishing a corresponding methodology based on ontology
reuse that is derived from the requirements. The methodology, which
will be discussed in detail, relies on a novel technique for semi-automatically
generating a set of potential user queries to support the knowledge
elicitation process.
