基于语义网的中医药术语系统融合方法研究

Research on the method of TCM terminology fusion based on the semantic web

中医药领域已出现了中医药学语言系统、中医临床术语集等许多术语系统。中医药术语系统的总量很大,但互不兼容,难以融合,尚不能完全满足中医药信息化建设的需求。实现多术语系统的融合已成为推动术语系统应用的一个先决条件。为此,本文提出基于语义网的中医药术语系统融合方法:将各种术语系统转换为统一的语义网本体,并将这些本体合并起来,进而在不同本体的概念之间建立语义关系。采用该方法实现了中医药学语言系统等中医药术语系统的转换与融合,从而初步验证了所提方法的可行性。

In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） practitioners have constructed a series of terminologies,such as traditional Chinese medicine language system and traditional Chinese medicine clinical terms.These systems are not compatible with each other and are difficult to be integrated,therefore they can＇t meet the requirements of informatics applications.Terminology fusion has become a prerequisite for the applicability of TCM terminologies.Therefore,this paper proposes a method for TCM terminology fusion based on the semantic web：transforming terminologies into semantic web ontologies,which are then linked and merged together.This method is used to achieve the transformation and merging of TCM terminologies such as traditional Chinese medicine language system,which demonstrates the feasibility of proposed method.
