Abstract

The Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes terminology (LOINC) has been proposed as a nomenclature for clinical laboratory tests. We present a formal representation of LOINC using a Semantic Web-based ontology that defines LOINC concepts in terms of the six main LOINC axes and their relationships with UMLS Semantic Types and the UMLS Metathesarus. This representation may enable automated information integration and decision support in public health surveillance.

摘要

逻辑观察标识符名称和代码术语（LOINC）已被提议作为临床实验室检测的一种命名法。我们使用基于语义网的本体对LOINC进行了形式化表示，该本体根据LOINC的六个主要轴及其与统一医学语言系统（UMLS）语义类型和UMLS元词表的关系来定义LOINC概念。这种表示可能会在公共卫生监测中实现自动化信息整合和决策支持。
