Hierarchical Conceptual Schema for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Ontology

Dengue is one of the most common infectious diseases and an enormous public health problem in Indonesia. In this paper, we discuss the development of hierarchical conceptual schema for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Ontology (DHFO) which contains general information on DHF and epidemiological information that can help in the formulation of effective DHF control policies in Indonesia. The DHFO is aimed at providing interoperability support for the knowledge management of DHF control initiatives, and serve as an open semantic web infrastructure for DHF research and treatment..
