The ExaMode Ontology (full version)

The goal of this document is to define an OWL 2 ontology for the ExaMode project whose overall goal is to build predictive algorithms to help pathologists in the diagnosis of cancer cases. The starting point of ExaMode are medical diagnostic reports associated with WSIs of examined tissues. The present ontology models the diagnostic reports associated with a (series of) WSI and enable a structured encoding of the main concepts of a diagnosis. These concepts and their relations can be used to automatically annotate WSI as well as to do some reasoning over diagnostic reports about the cervix, colon and lung cancer, and celiac disease. The full documentation is available here: http://examode.dei.unipd.it/ontology/本文件旨在为ExaMode项目定义一套OWL 2本体（OWL 2 ontology），该项目的整体目标是开发预测算法以辅助病理学家完成癌症病例的诊断工作。ExaMode项目的初始数据源为与受检组织全切片图像（WSI）关联的医学诊断报告。本本体对与一组（或多组）WSI相关的诊断报告进行建模，实现诊断核心概念的结构化编码。这些概念及其关联关系可用于自动标注WSI，同时支持针对宫颈癌、结肠癌、肺癌以及乳糜泻的诊断报告开展推理工作。完整文档可通过以下链接获取：http://examode.dei.unipd.it/ontology/
