Tuesday May 23, 2023 08:45 - 09:00 G1

Lecturer: Stefano Bonacina

Track: MIE: Knowledge and Information representation and modeling

The amount of information on Traditional Medicine in Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SCT), the world’s most comprehensive health terminology, is unclear. The purpose of this study is to address that unclarity and investigate to which extent the concepts of ICD-11-CH26 can be found in SCT. If a concept from ICD-11-CH26 has a corresponding, or similar, concept in SCT, the hierarchical structure of the concepts has been compared. Then, an ontology of Traditional Chinese Medicine using the concepts of SCT will be presented.
