Abstract

This paper contributes with a knowledge representation model of the human vital sign monitoring activity based on Semantic Web specifications for ontologies and Horn-like rules. The proposed model is founded in interviews with intensive care units professionals, medical and nursing literature, and the reuse of existing ontologies. As a result, this work contributes with an ontology describing vital signs, actors and temporal information involved in monitoring, a set of requirements underlying to that model, and dozens of Horn-like rules describing alarms and the respective abnormal values for each vital sign.

Abstract
Efforts have been made in the Semantic Web to combine rules with ontologies. One result of these efforts is the development of the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) which is designed to integrate closely with the Web Ontology Language (...

So far, ontologies have been widely used to convey knowledge across the Semantic Web. Complementing web ontologies with Horn-like rules to assert relations among ontology individuals and properties is part of the ongoing implementation of the Semantic ...
