Using Ontologies to model data and medical procedures

This project aims to create a medical ontology allowing the representation of a) medical procedures and algorithms; b) clinical data; c) time events.
The ontology will be defined in OWL (ontology web language) and computational applications able to manage the ontology and its instances will be created: a) manually via a web application; b) automatically via a XML input format; c) automatically via documents written in natural language.
Medical procedures represented in the ontology can be implemented via a general application able to model algorithms and to register medical data.
The medical knowledge base can be queried via questions posed by users in natural language.
