RE: Implications and Issues in Converting UML to RDF/OWL When Constructing HL7 RIM Ontology

2006-09-05 Thread Kashyap, Vipul
Hi Dan,   I think this is a good start. As others have suggested, we need to drill down further to understand our requirements and evaluate the need for representing RIM in OWL.. Some suggestions of deepening the use case are as follows: "An RDF system has been put in place to navigat

What you begin to confront is the fact that if the ontologies were isolated both in terms of not using a shared foundational ontology, there were likely also isolated in the sense of not sharing "best practices" for ontology construction:   - many definitions ar

Dear Bill et al., Thanks for the articles and the explanation. I agree that we should consider mutliple brain regions in the case of Parkinson's Disease (as well as other neurological diseases). I just gave a specific example (purkinje cell is located in cerebellum). There are other types of

Vipul,   Not trying to self-promote.  But I have designed a visual langauge that is targeted specifically at the RDF/OWL based ontology formalism.  It is extensible and self-descriptive (i.e., you can define your own notations for specific concept). If you are interested, you might give it a

Hi, Vipul Thanks for putting a head start on this task. I have one observation on expressing ontology in UML notation.   As we know that UML and ontology language in semantic web (RDF and OWL) are based on very different theory, although the hierarchical structures of OWL classes and UML class

Absolutely, thanks Kei!Though - for Parkison's - we're going to need to deal with neurons in the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus.  For instance, see:Relationship among alpha-synuclein accumulation, dopamine synthesis, and neurodegeneration in Parkinson disease substantia nigra.Mori F, Nish

Hi Vipul, Bill et al., Thanks for your efforts. I think the seed (global) ontology is a good start. I'd also suggest to include modeling at the neuronal level that allows study of neuronal properties that are involved in Parkinson Disease. For example, the following OWL ontology
