Ontology for General Medical Science

The Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS) is an ontology of entities involved in a clinical encounter. OGMS includes very general terms that are used across medical disciplines, including: 'disease', 'disorder', 'disease course', 'diagnosis', 'patient', and 'healthcare provider'. OGMS uses the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as an upper-level ontology. The scope of OGMS is restricted to humans, but many terms can be applied to a variety of organisms. OGMS provides a formal theory of disease that can be further elaborated by specific disease ontologies. This theory is implemented using OWL-DL and OBO Relation Ontology relations and is available in OWL and OBO formats. OGMS is based on the papers Toward an Ontological Treatment of Disease and Diagnosis and On Carcinomas and Other Pathological Entities. The ontology attempts to address some of the issues raised at the Workshop on Ontology of Diseases (Dallas, TX) and the Signs, Symptoms, and Findings Workshop(Milan, Italy). OGMS was formerly called the clinical phenotype ontology. Terms from OGMS hang from the Basic Formal Ontology.《通用医学科学本体论》（OGMS）系临床遭遇中所涉及实体的本体论。OGMS 包含了贯穿于医学各个学科中的极为通用的术语，诸如：‘疾病’，‘紊乱’，‘疾病进程’，‘诊断’，‘患者’以及‘医疗提供者’。OGMS 以基本形式本体论（BFO）作为上层本体。OGMS 的范围仅限于人类，但许多术语可应用于多种生物体。OGMS 提供了疾病的形式理论，该理论可通过特定疾病本体论进行进一步阐述。该理论采用 OWL-DL 和 OBO 关系本体论关系实现，并以 OWL 和 OBO 格式提供。OGMS 之构建基于《疾病与诊断的本体论处理》及《关于癌及其他病理实体》两篇论文。该本体论旨在解决在疾病本体论研讨会（德克萨斯州达拉斯）以及症状、体征与发现研讨会（意大利米兰）中提出的一些问题。OGMS 曾被称为临床表型本体论。OGMS 的术语源自基本形式本体论。

背景概述

OGMS是一个临床医学本体，涵盖疾病、诊断、患者等通用术语，基于BFO上层本体，采用OWL-DL和OBO格式。它旨在提供疾病的正式理论，并支持心血管疾病、传染病等多个领域的扩展和应用。
