The formal representation of clinical knowledge is still an open research topic. Classical languages for guidelines are used to produce diagnostic and treatment plans. However, they have important limitations, e.g. when looking ways re-use, combine, reason over ex isting knowledge. These limitations especially problematic in the context multimorbidity; patients that suffer from multiple diseases. To overcome these this paper proposes a model (TMR4I) allows re-use combination guidelines....
An important challenge in the Knowledge Representation area is on representing and reasoning over temporally changing information. Particularly, a number of authors have been investigating approaches to extend expressivity beyond what currently supported by DL (Description Logics) based languages order address this issue, while maintaining compatibility with subclasses DLs adopted Semantic Web. This mainly due increasing popularity Web initiative as well role played that context. In paper we...
Bioinformatics has been a fertile field for the application of discipline formal ontology.The principled representation biomedical entities increasingly supported biological research, with direct benefits ranging from reformulation medical terminologies to introduction new perspectives enhanced models Electronic Health Records (EHR).This paper introduces an application-independent ontological analysis electrocardiogram (ECG) grounded in Unified Foundational Ontology.With objective...
Computational technologies have been increasingly explored to make biomedical knowledge and data more accessible for human understanding, comparison, analysis communication. In this context, ontology has recognized in the bioinformatics literature as a suitable technique advancing representations Biomedicine. Moreover, automated reasoning visualization mechanisms can favor providing support comprehensibility well dealing with complexity inherent domain. This paper elaborates on application...
This paper presents a method for formally representing Computer-Interpretable Guidelines to deal with multimorbidity.Although some approaches merging guidelines exist, improvements are still required combining several sources of information and coping possibly conflicting pieces evidence coming from clinical studies.Our main contribution is twofold: (i) we provide general models rules that expresses as causation beliefs; (ii) introduce mechanism exploit external medical knowledge acquired...

Entity disambiguation is a widely investigated topic, and many matching algorithms have been proposed. However, this task has not yet satisfactorily addressed when the domain of interest provides poor or incomplete data with little discriminating power. In these cases, use content fields such as name date enough simple relations other entities much help related also need before they can be used. Therefore, we propose an approach for clustered resources using context (related that are...
Biomedical knowledge and data have been increasingly more explored by computer programs in providing support for human visualization of biomedical phenomena. Use scenarios such graphical simulations range from physician's decision to aid-learning medical sciences. The representation often plays a prominent role applications. In this sense, paper introduces the use lightweight ontology heart electrophysiology an interactive web application. We reflect on ontology-based application highlight...
