The fields of health terminology, classification, ontology, and related information models have evolved dramatically over the past 25 years. Our objective was to review notable trends, described emerging or enabling technologies, and highlight major terminology systems during the interval.
We review the progression in health terminology systems informed by our own experiences as part of the community involved in this work, reinforced with literature review and citation.
The transformation in size, scope, complexity, and adoption of health terminological systems and information models has been tremendous, on the scale of orders of magnitude.
The present "big science" era of inference and discovery in biomedicine would not have been possible or scalable absent the growth and maturation of health terminology systems and information models over the past 25 years.
在过去25年里,健康术语、分类法、本体论及相关信息模型领域发生了巨大演变。我们的目标是回顾显著趋势,描述新兴或推动性技术,并突出这一时期的主要术语系统。
作为参与这项工作的社区成员,我们结合自身经验回顾健康术语系统的发展进程,并通过文献综述和引用加以强化。
健康术语系统和信息模型在规模、范围、复杂性及应用方面的转变极为巨大,达到了数量级的规模。
若没有过去25年里健康术语系统和信息模型的发展与成熟,当前生物医学中推理和发现的“大科学”时代将不可能实现,也无法规模化发展。
