This document describes a concept system detailing domain constraints of sanctioned characteristics, each composed of a semantic link and an applicable characterizing category.
The potential benefits of this document include:
a) support for developers of new terminology systems concerning acupuncture needling;
b) support for developers of new detailed content areas of existing terminology systems concerning acupuncture needling procedures to ensure accuracy, repeatability and comparability;
c) facilitating the representation of acupuncture needling procedures using a standard core model in a manner suitable for computer processing;
d) providing a conceptual framework for the generation of compositional concept representation of acupuncture needling;
e) facilitating the mapping and improved semantic correspondence between different terminologies by proposing a core specification for acupuncture needling;
f) providing a core model to describe the structure of acupuncture, and facilitate improved semantic correspondence with information models;
g) providing a tool for acupuncture text mining, database construction, ancient documents processing and wide area of acupuncture information collection and processing;
h) providing a new method for researchers to conduct relevant research, and ideas for the development of acupuncture disciplines.
Target groups include:
— stakeholders such as companies that offer systems that incorporate Electronic Categorial Structures, by helping building knowledge databases or automatic processing of medical literature, and
— doctors, who can be better assisted with knowledge and documentation of needling procedures.
This document can also be used in clinical decision support and to help in data mining for researchers.
