A high level representation of data would clarify the complex collection of medical concepts, terms and relationships derived from standard classifications that the Unified Medical Language System contains. A conceptual model is described which represents the data structure. A second objective of this conceptual model is to provide users with the capability to build queries to information databases as easily as possible on the basis of this data structure. The methods used to build this model are semantic networks and conceptual graphs. The object-oriented computational model which implements this conceptual model is detailed. It reuses part of the generic C++ classes of the National Institutes of Health library. New classes are added to this library to implement the needed functionalities.
数据的高级表示将阐明统一医学语言系统所包含的源自标准分类的复杂医学概念、术语及关系集合。本文描述了一个表示数据结构的概念模型。该概念模型的第二个目标是为用户提供基于此数据结构尽可能轻松地构建信息数据库查询的能力。构建此模型所使用的方法是语义网络和概念图。详细介绍了实现此概念模型的面向对象计算模型。它复用了美国国立卫生研究院库中的部分通用C++类。在此库中添加了新类以实现所需功能。
