Abstract
We report our ongoing work on the development of an ontology (code named DOHa) for the domain of Haematology - the branch of medicine concerned with diseases of the blood and blood forming organs. Our goal is to provide a domain-specific ontology, which could serve as a knowledge source for a more general medical ontology like the UMLS - Unified Medical Language System. Our ontology provides a controlled vocabulary of haematological concepts and terms as well as a semantic network for categorizing and relating these concepts. Our semantic net is inspired by the semantic types and relations of UMLS. The proposed implementation environment provides for the integration of the ontology with more general ones. It also allows for collaborative development of the ontology and programmatic access by medical applications using some protocols.
