Use case

OWL Reasoning for Patient Classification

Objective

Convert pharmacogenomic and pharmacological datasets to RDF/OWL and map them to the extended Translational Medicine Ontology. Explore how OWL 2 reasoning and SPARQL rules / SPARQL inferencing notation (SPIN) can be used to classify individual patients to patient classes for stratification, to improve knowledge base consistency, and to create alerts, reminders and recommendations for decision support in clinical routine. Explore how the RDF/OWL technology stack can assist the interpretation of genetic patient data for identifying risk factors and to optimize medication choice.


Projected timeframe

February 2012 - February 2013.
