Medical Clinic Ontology - Example

Diseases of affluence, an aging population and many other reasons cause doctors to be overworked and tired. Many of them complain, that bureaucracy consumes a large amount of time, which could be otherwise spend on curing patients. Cognitum meets the expectation of medical workers and provides tools that can spare precious time by adding semantic layer to patients' records and doctors' medical knowledge. Cognitum's Fluent Editor can be used to quickly access patient's medical history, suggest a medicament for specific illness and even predict patient's disease based on signs and symptoms.

Example of energy industry ontology with external references in Fluent Editor

Modern energy sector is a wide area of industry, that concerns numerous aspects, like energy efficiency in different regions, renewable energy sources, energy companies' specializations and many others. Due to the variety of information, it is often difficult to get comprehensive answers to questions about specific fields. Semantic Technology allows to manage this knowledge in a simple and flexible way. It provides versatile description of reality, that is understand and can be adjusted to give complete, comprehensive information in chosen areas. This article presents simple ontology written in Fluent Editor, describing energy industry. It contains information about energy companies, regions and ecological aspects of their activities. You can download this sample ontology through the following link: EnergeoOnt.encnl

Reasoning about ontologies - fast vs. complete answers

In this article you will gain more intuition about: - how to query your ontology - the difference between reasoner and materialized graph - what is materialization mode OWL-DL and materialization mode OWL-RL+ - when you can use faster OWL RL+ reasoning mode safely You will see two example ontologies: - about books (using data types, cardinality restriction, data type restrictions) - about political preferences (SWRL rules, defining concepts by enumeration) You can reproduce the steps by downloading the ontologies: - my_books.encnl - political_parties.encnl and opening it with FluentEditor on your computer.

About reasoners and materialized graph

With recent FluentEditor releases the user has three tools to query the ontology:

• reasoner of choice (in this example Hermit reasoner is used)
• materialized graph (we can use either OWL-DL or OWL-RL+ materialization mode)
• SPARQL queries
