[Development of a Knowledge-based Application Utilizing Ontologies for the Continuing Site-specific JJ1017 Master Maintenance].

The purpose of this study was to develop the JJ1017 Knowledge-based Application (JKA) to support the continuing maintenance of a site-specific JJ1017 master defined by the JJ1017 guideline as a standard radiologic procedure master for medical information systems that are being adopted by some medical facilities in Japan. The method consisted of the following three steps: (1) construction of the JJ...
