Linking Clinicians to Biomedical Researchers: An Application of the ISF Ontology at Stony Brook Medicine

摘要

From an administrative system, clinical experience was computed for 30 clinical faculty at Stony Brook Medicine. Experience was computed and represented in the ISF ontology using ICD9CM diagnosis codes that were mapped to MeSH. Using SPARQL, a semantic web technology for data querying, and data from a VIVO site, it was possible to connect to 257 different biomedical researchers based on published works.
