Ontology for Symptomatic Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Symptomatic treatment is an essential component in the overall treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, knowledge in this regard is confusing and scattered. Physicians also have challenges in choosing symptomatic treatment based on the patient's condition. To share, update, and reuse this knowledge, the aim of this study was to provide an ontology for MS symptomatic treatment.

Methods

The Symptomatic Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis Ontology (STMSO) was developed according to Ontology Development 101 and a guideline for developing good ontologies in the biomedical domain. We obtained knowledge and rules through a systematic review and entered this knowledge in the form of classes and subclasses in the ontology. We then mapped the ontology using the Basic Form
