Domain reference ontologies are being developed to serve as generalizable and reusable sources designed to support any application specific to the domain. The challenge is how to develop ways to derive or adapt pertinent portions of reference ontologies into application ontologies. In this paper we demonstrate how a subset of anatomy relevant to the domain of radiology can be derived from an anatomy reference ontology, the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) Ontology, to create an application ontology that is robust and expressive enough to incorporate and accommodate all salient anatomical knowledge necessary to support existing and emerging systems for managing anatomical information related to radiology. The principles underlying this work are applicable to domains beyond radiology, so our results could be extended to other areas of biomedicine in the future.
领域参考本体正在被开发，以作为可通用和可重用的资源，旨在支持特定领域的任何应用程序。挑战在于如何开发方法，将参考本体的相关部分派生或改编为应用本体。在本文中，我们展示了如何从解剖学参考本体——基础解剖模型（FMA）本体中派生出与放射学领域相关的解剖学子集，以创建一个应用本体，该本体强大且富有表现力，足以纳入并容纳支持现有和新兴系统管理与放射学相关的解剖学信息所需的所有重要解剖学知识。这项工作的基本原理适用于放射学以外的领域，因此我们的结果未来可能会扩展到生物医学的其他领域。
