Knowledge Acquisition in the construction of ontologies: a case study in the domain of hematology.

The activities of organizing knowledge recorded in texts and obtaining knowledge from human experts – the knowledge acquisition process – are essential for scientific development. In this article, we propose methodological steps for knowledge acquisition, which have been applied to the construction of biomedical ontologies. The methodological steps are tested in a real case of knowledge acquisition in the domain of the human blood. We hope to contribute to the improvement of knowledge acquisition for the representation of scientific knowledge in ontologies.
