Abstract
The increasing number of terms used in textbooks for information management (IM) in hospitals makes it difficult for medical informatics students to grasp IM concepts and their interrelations. Formal ontologies which comprehend and represent the essential content of textbooks can facilitate the learning process in IM education. The manual construction of such ontologies is time-consuming and thus very expensive [3]. Moreover, most domain experts lack skills in using a formal language like OWL [2] and usually have no experience with standard editing tools like Protégé http://protege.stanford.edu [4,5]. This paper presents an ontology modeling approach based on Excel2OWL, a self-developed tool which efficiently supports domain experts in collaboratively constructing ontologies from textbooks. This approach was applied to classic IM textbooks, resulting in an ontology called SNIK. Our method facilitates the collaboration between domain experts and ontologists in the development process. Furthermore, the proposed approach enables ontologists to detect modeling errors and also to evaluate and improve the quality of the resulting ontology rapidly. This approach allows us to visualize the modeled textbooks and to analyze their semantics automatically. Hence, it can be used for e-learning purposes, particularly in the field of IM in hospitals.
