TOWARDS AN ONTOLOGY-BASED MULTI-AGENT MEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED ON THE WEB

Introduction　　 Medical information systems cover a numberof medical domains to satisfy different medical ap-plications and characterized by the rich functionali-ties and valuable medical case data1,2 ] .But infor-mation systems are heterogeneous and lack of effi-cient knowledge organization mechanisms.So theredundant information is existing,and real time in-formation acquisition and updating is difficult andmedical information systems are hard to interoper-ate and implementcomplex medical a…

TOWARDS AN ONTOLOGY-BASED MULTI-AGENT MEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED ON THE WEB

This paper described an ontology based multi agent knowledge process made (MAKM) which is one of multi agents systems (MAS) and uses semantic network to describe agents to help to locate relative agents distributed in the workgroup. In MAKM, an agent is the entity to implement the distributed task processing and to access the information or knowledge. Knowledge query manipulation language (KQML) is adapted to realize the communication among agents. So using the MAKM mode, different knowledge and information on the medical domain could be organized and utilized efficiently when a collaborative task is implemented on the web.
