Les technologies du web sémantique pour un renouveau des systèmes experts en médecine. Principes, problèmes et propositions à partir de l’exemple du myélome dans le NCI-T

The current article aims at studying the use of semantic web technology for medical diagnosis. Firstly, we highlight the capacities and limitations of OWL (OWL 1 and 2) to handle the issue of knowledge representation and reasoning in the case of the medical diagnosis. Secondly, we propose solutions for each problem. The article is illustrated with the case of the myeloma and its representation in the NCI Thesaurus.
