美国国家癌症研究所开发了NCI词库，这是一个用于癌症研究的生物医学词汇表。涵盖广泛的癌症研究领域的术语。NCI叙词表的一个主要设计目标是促进翻译研究。我们描述：Ontylog的特点，用于建立NCI叙词表的描述逻辑;我们的方法，通过本体学家和领域专家之间的合作，提高术语，并解决某些真实的世界的挑战，在建模的叙词表;最后，我们描述了NCI叙词表从Ontylog到Web本体语言精简版的转换。Ontylog已被证明非常适合构建大型生物医学词汇表。我们已经利用了Ontylog结构的种类和角色在本文中描述的协作过程中，以促进本体和领域专家之间的沟通。NCI为合作开发的工件和过程可能对其他生物医学术语开发工作有用。爱思唯尔公司出版
The National Cancer Institute has developed the NCI Thesaurus, a biomedical vocabulary for cancer research. covering terminology across a wide range of cancer research domains. A major design goal of the NCI Thesaurus is to facilitate translational research. We describe: the features of Ontylog, a description logic used to build NCI Thesaurus; our methodology for enhancing the terminology through collaboration between ontologists and domain experts, and for addressing certain real world challenges arising in modeling the Thesaurus; and finally, we describe the conversion of NCI Thesaurus from Ontylog into Web Ontology Language Lite. Ontylog has proven well suited for constructing big biomedical vocabularies. We have capitalized on the Ontylog constructs Kind and Role in the collaboration process described in this paper to facilitate communication between ontologists and domain experts. The artifacts and processes developed by NCI for collaboration may be useful in other biomedical terminology development efforts. Published by Elsevier Inc.
