The Research On Ontology-based Representation Of Chinese Herbal Property

Object:We lead the ontology into the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory research with Natural Language Processing theory and technique. We build the Traditional Chinese Medicine ontology Based on Traditional Chinese medicine historical document data.We carry on the knowledge construction and shine upon the connection to concept terminology related with 973 plan projects "The Chinese herbal property theory related foundation question research". We carry on the comprehensive annotation to the Traditional Chinese Medicine core concept and construct the ontology-based representation of Chinese herbal property theory automatically. We hope to descript the Traditional Chinese Medicine property comprehensively by the time through the concept and the concept essence, provide the Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts system which for the Traditional Chinese Medicine property theory as well as other related discipline's research a group public, help the domain expert to analyze the Traditional Chinese Medicine property knowledge, realize the Traditional Chinese Medicine information knowledge-based reorganization, provide the ontology storehouse of the knowledge stratification plane for the Traditional Chinese Medicine domain's data mining and the knowledge discovery.Methods:We make full use of existing recognized knowledge in the field of medicine, the concept of Chinese colleges and universities nationwide unified teaching materials seventh edition, and the terms from Tang materia medica, Compendium of Materia Medica, Shen Nong's Herbal Classic variorum, Chinese Materia Medica, etc., as the concept of ontology in the alternative, establish a multi-dimensional reconstruction of knowledge and describe the methods of Chinese Medicine ontology through the reconstruction of the concept of relations, reconstruct knowledge description systems.First of all to take a top-down method, starting from the top-level concepts, we definition most obvious concept, and then appropriately summarized and refined by adding sub-categories, appropriately summarized and refined those concepts. At the same time, using the bottom-up method, to an important herbal medicine in ancient writings as a source of information, from the bottom, the smallest of the definition of the concept, taking literature from the ancient concept of Materia Medica, we refine the concept of these organizations in a more comprehensive concept, and one by one establish the concept of property, in order to establish a prototype system of ontology knowledge description.Results:The paper presents the thoughts and methods of representting Chinese herbal property, and constructs the representation model of it. We have acquired multi-dimensional mesh system of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs, and partially revised the original structure of domain knowledge recognized.Conclusions:Ontology-based system of theoretical concepts of Chinese Medicine herbs, the traditional concept of system as the initial framework,derived from a large number of the original literature corpus, after a three knowledge restructuring, has been rebuited. In describing the way, revealing the depth, sharing, etc.It is all different from the traditional concept. It has the characteristics of the literature data based, scalable, being network concept of relationship, being natural language and being the methods of key words description and so on.
