Abstract

We present a new methodological approach based on integrating Arden-Syntax-based clinical decision support (CDS) with an upstream ontology service. Incoming linguistic patient data, such as single reports about detected germs or viruses, shall be identified by the applied ontology at a low level. Then, higher-level concepts are activated by ontology-based bottom-up reasoning. Access to these high-level concepts is then provided by Arden-Syntax-based CDS. The results suggest promising directions for future enhancements in knowledge-based artificial intelligence.
