This paper results from the research efforts of the Clinical Informatics Research Group in building a generalized system for online survey implementation. Key to the success of any generalized survey system is a standard ontology for the differing components of any survey, particularly those sought to be implemented online, over the World Wide Web. In this paper, we introduce the need for generalized survey authoring tools, discuss our methods for elucidating the different components present in many healthcare instruments and classifying them as per existing standards, and later present our proposed ontology for online surveys in the healthcare domain. This is followed by a more detailed description of the different question types mentioned in this ontology. Finally, we compare some general purpose authoring systems currently available to determine their flexibility in representing these disparate question types (www.cirg.washington.edu/SuML).
本文源自临床信息学研究小组构建在线调查实施通用系统的研究工作。任何通用调查系统成功的关键在于为任何调查的不同组件建立标准本体，特别是那些试图通过万维网在线实施的调查。在本文中，我们介绍了通用调查创作工具的必要性，讨论了我们阐明许多医疗保健工具中存在的不同组件并根据现有标准对其进行分类的方法，随后展示了我们为医疗保健领域在线调查提出的本体。接着对该本体中提到的不同问题类型进行了更详细的描述。最后，我们比较了目前可用的一些通用创作系统，以确定它们在表示这些不同问题类型方面的灵活性（www.cirg.washington.edu/SuML）。
