10th Intl. Protégé Conference - July 15-18, Budapest, Hungary Do ontologies work? Barriers and Possibilities to Implement Ontologies in (Health) Information Systems workshop

10th Intl. Protégé Conference - July 15-18, Budapest, Hungary Currently, there are a large number of biomedical ontology development projects a number of more or less mature medical ontologies available on the Internet. However, it is extremely difficult to find practical examples of ontologies that are integrated in (health) information systems in daily use.

10th Intl. Protégé Conference - July 15-18, Budapest, Hungary 1. The scale and the multiplicity activities tasks and users. 2. Conflicts between the user requirements and rigorous software development 3. The complexity of clinical pragmatics 4. Separation of language and concept representation 5. Clinical conventions often do not conform to logic and linguistic paradigms. 6. Underestimation of the difficulty of developing description formalism and its use to develop medical ontologies. 7. Due to the lack of clinical consensus terminology must be open ended and allow local tailoring. 8. Idiosyncratic structure of existing classifications 9. Need to be coherent with medical record and messaging models 10. Change must be managed without corrupting information already recorded Rector AL. Clinical terminology: why is it so hard? Methods Inf Med. 1999;38(4–5):239–52

10th Intl. Protégé Conference - July 15-18, Budapest, Hungary Separation from language "We are analog beings trapped in a digital world… We are compliant, flexible, tolerant. Yet we have constructed a world of machines that requires us to be rigid, fixed, intolerant" (Donald A Norman) Production of new knowledge in form of free text: Huge effort to update formal systems

10th Intl. Protégé Conference - July 15-18, Budapest, Hungary Separation from language We are seeking for something, that can used better to describe medical facts, than human language. Umberto Eco: La ricerca della lingua perfetta nella cultura europea (Search for a perfect language in the European Culture)
