The World Health Organization (WHO) is well under way with the new revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The current revision process is significantly different from past ones: the ICD-11 authoring is now open to a large international community of medical experts, who perform the authoring in a web-based collaborative platform. The classification is also embracing a more formal representation that is suitable for electronic health records. We present the ICD Collaborative Authoring Tool (iCAT), a customization of the WebProtégé editor that supports the community based authoring of ICD-11 on the Web and provides features such as discussion threads integrated in the authoring process, change tracking, content reviewing, and so on. The WHO editors evaluated the initial version of iCAT and found the tool intuitive and easy to learn. They also identified improvement potentials and new requirements for large-scale collaboration support. A demo version of the tool is available at: http://icatdemo.stanford.edu.
世界卫生组织（WHO）正在稳步推进《国际疾病分类》（ICD - 11）的新修订工作。当前的修订过程与以往显著不同：ICD - 11的编写工作现在向广大国际医学专家群体开放，他们在一个基于网络的协作平台上进行编写。该分类法也采用了更适合电子健康记录的正式表示形式。我们展示了ICD协作编写工具（iCAT），它是WebProtégé编辑器的定制版本，支持在网络上基于社区进行ICD - 11的编写，并提供诸如编写过程中集成讨论线程、变更跟踪、内容审核等功能。WHO的编辑们对iCAT的初始版本进行了评估，发现该工具直观且易于学习。他们还确定了大规模协作支持方面的改进潜力和新需求。该工具的演示版本可在以下网址获取：http://icatdemo.stanford.edu 。
