基于OWL的制药企业本体的构建及应用

Construction and application of ontology for pharmaceutical enterprise based on OWL

本体是共享概念模型的明确的形式化规范说明,通过概念之间的关系来描述概念的语义。药业本体是制药企业中或企业间公共的知识化的描述,不仅可以促进制药企业知识的重用和共享,还大大方便了制药企业内部以及企业间知识管理和信息交换。本文讨论了本体的概念,介绍了本体的构建原则和方法,以及各种本体表示语言,着重介绍了OWL本体语言,分析了药业本体应用领域,给出了一个简单的基于OWL的本体示例片段,最后简单介绍了本体编辑工具protege2000及其使用方法。

Ontology is a formal, explicit specialization of a shared conceptualization and provides semantic meaning through relations between concepts. The pharmaceutical ontology is a specialization about public knowledge in a pharmaceutical enterprise or among pharmaceutical enterprises, which not only can promote reuse and share of knowledge about pharmaceutical enterprise, but also make knowledge management and information exchange easy in a pharmaceutical enterprise or among pharmaceutical enterprises. This paper discusses the concept of ontology, introduces the principle and method of construction for ontology as well as various ontology presentation language, especially OWL ontology language, analyses the application domains of the pharmaceutical ontology, gives a segment of simple example of the ontology based on OWL, at last briefly introduces the ontology editor ptotege2000 and its application method.
