Representation of Autoimmune Diseases with RDFS

摘要

Complex systems are systems consisting of many diverse and autonomous independent subsystems interacting with each other. Huge amount of interactions with many feedback loops complicate their investigation. Immune system is a typical complex system that attracts medical experts and also non-professionals especially because of its "ambient" nature and amazing complexity. Understandable information about immunity is required not only by the experts but also by the non-professionals. This paper is focused on development of the ontology providing fundamental facts about autoimmune diseases because these facts are not well-structured and presented for the end users on the web. The ontology should improve navigation among diverse pieces of information about these diseases and decrease information overloading.
