Healthgrids unite a large amount of independent and distributed organisations to provide for various healthcare services. Often the involved organisations can belong to different areas of healthcare and even different countries. However to achieve efficient operation they have to act in a well coordinated manner. As a result, an efficient knowledge sharing between multiple participating parties of the healthgrid is required. The paper describes application of an earlier developed ontology-driven KSNet (Knowledge Source Network) - approach to knowledge repository support for healthgrids. This approach is based on representation of knowledge via ontologies using formalism of object-oriented constraint networks. Such representation makes it possible to define and solve various tasks from the areas of management, planning, configuration, etc., by using constraint solving engines such as, for instance, ILOG or CLP. The major discussed aspects cover the formalism of knowledge representation via ontologies and implementation of the approach as a decision support system for a case study from the area of health service logistics.
健康网格联合大量独立且分布式的组织来提供各种医疗保健服务。通常,所涉及的组织可能属于医疗保健的不同领域,甚至不同国家。然而,为了实现高效运作,它们必须以协调良好的方式行动。因此,需要在健康网格的多个参与方之间进行高效的知识共享。本文描述了一种早期开发的本体驱动的KSNet(知识源网络)方法在支持健康网格知识库方面的应用。这种方法基于通过使用面向对象约束网络形式化的本体来表示知识。这种表示使得通过使用诸如ILOG或CLP等约束求解引擎来定义和解决管理、规划、配置等领域的各种任务成为可能。所讨论的主要方面包括通过本体进行知识表示的形式化以及将该方法作为健康服务物流领域案例研究的决策支持系统的实现。
