Two DL-based methods for auditing medical terminological systems
2005
AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings
In this paper we describe two methods based on description logics (DLs) for the audit of TSs. One method uses non-primitive definitions to detect concepts with equivalent definitions. ...
Medical terminological systems (TSs) play an increasingly important role in health care by supporting recording, retrieval and analysis of patient information. ...
(ICZ) for the project entitled "Terminology and Semantics: Making semantics explicit", number 014-18-014. ...

The result of this attention has been the development of auditing methods that apply formal methods to assessing whether terminologies are complete and accurate. ...
We also identify which terminologies have been audited with the methods and provide examples to illustrate each part of the framework. ...
To audit DL-based terminologies (using the NCIt as a case study), Min et al. ...

Dissimilarities in the Logical Modeling of Apparently Similar Concepts in SNOMED CT
2010
AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings
Due to this, external auditing should be encouraged to identify such issues and complement IHTSDO's efforts. ...
Their presence may interfere with the performance of terminology-driven applications. With the use of SNOMED expanding, such inconsistencies may eventually affect clinical care. ...
The most commonly perceived use of terminologies such as SCT is the encoding of clinical data within electronic medical systems including Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Clinical Information Systems ...

Validating the semantics of a medical iconic language using ontological reasoning
2013
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
The ontology may also be useful for the design of mapping between VCM and other medical terminologies, for generating textual labels for icons, and for developing user interfaces for creating VCM icons ...
This work aims to represent the VCM language using DLs and OWL for evaluating its semantics by reasoners, and in particular for determining inconsistent icons. ...
We thank Rosy Tsopra (MD) and Antonio Teixeira (MD) for their participation in the evaluation of the icons' consistency. ...

A study of terminology auditors' performance for UMLS semantic type assignments
2012
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
Auditing healthcare terminologies for errors requires human experts. ...
For a sample of 232 complex UMLS concepts, the majority opinion was found reliable and its performance for accuracy, recall, precision and the F-measure was found statistically significantly higher than ...
For an extensive review of UMLS auditing and of methods for auditing of medical terminologies in general refer to Zhu et al. [16] . ...

Auditing as Part of the Terminology Design Life Cycle
2006
JAMIA Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association
A b s t r a c t Objective: To develop and test an auditing methodology for detecting errors in medical terminologies satisfying systematic inheritance. ...
Design: Our auditing methodology is based on dividing concepts of a terminology into smaller, more manageable units. ...
Life cycle models have also been expanded to knowledge-based systems, such as in an application of auditing in the development of knowledge-based expert systems for business and finance. 5 We observe ...

Auditing complex concepts of SNOMED using a refined hierarchical abstraction network
2012
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
Two phases of auditing the Specimen hierarchy for two releases of SNOMED are reported on. ...
Auditors of a large terminology, such as SNOMED CT, face a daunting challenge. ...
A number of automated systematic methods have exploited DL representations of terminologies. The methodology of [22] is such an example. ...

Investigating subsumption in DL-based terminologies: A Case Study in SNOMED CT
2004
Conference on Knowledge Representation in Medicine
The objective of this paper is to study the degree to which one DL-based biomedical terminology (SNOMED CT) complies with such principles. ...
Formalisms such as description logics (DL) are sometimes expected to help terminologies ensure compliance with sound ontological principles. ...
DISCUSSION The work described in this paper is in the tradition of studies auditing large medical terminologies such as [14] . ...
