本体在中医药学领域的应用现状及展望

Application status and prospect of ontology in TCM

文章介绍本体的概念及其在中医药领域应用的现状,指出中医药领域本体建立的意义在于推动中医知识的数字化和规范化进程,而难点在于中医药学科本身的复杂性及中医药学概念的不规范和多重性。构建中医药学本体,应该符合中医学的思维方式,本研究尝试用人工智能技术,通过构建语义网络来将各个概念的定义、关联准确、完整、忠实地表现出来,以解决本体构建过程中的问题。

This paper introduced the concept of ontology and its application status in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）, pointed out that the significance of establishing domain ontology was to promote the process of the digitization and standardization of TCM. But the difficulty was on the complexity and multiplicity of TCM concepts. It need to conform to the thinking way of TCM in the construction of TCM ontology. Our team tried to use artificial intelligence technology to express the TCM concept and correlation accurately, completely and faithfully by constructing semantic network, which will solve the problem in the process of constructing TCM ontology.
