Comprehensive Ontology of Fibroproliferative Diseases: Protocol for a Semantic Technology Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibroproliferative or fibrotic diseases (FDs), which represent a significant proportion of age-related pathologies and account for over 40% of mortality in developed nations, are often underrepresented in focused research. Typically, these conditions are studied individually, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), rather than as a collective entity, thereby limiting the holistic understanding and development of effective treatments. To address this, we propose creating and publicizing a comprehensive fibroproliferative disease ontology (FDO) to unify the understanding of FDs.

Objective

This paper aims to delineate the study protocol for the creation of the FDO, foster transparency and high quality standards during its
