Terminology, Ontology and Their Implementations

這本修訂版的新版本包含許多全新和大幅更新的章節，為讀者提供了理解醫療保健中術語的核心主題所需的基本資訊，這種理解在護理和研究中是一項可利用的資產。二十五年前，術語應該以概念為基礎的觀念在醫療保健領域幾乎是未知的；而現在幾乎所有重要的術語至少在某種程度上都是以概念為基礎的。由於缺乏對術語的普遍模型，沒有工具來支持術語的開發和維護。自那時以來，穩步的進展改善了術語內容以及用於維持該內容的技術和流程。本新版本使用來自健康領域的實際案例來闡明數據表示領域的主要問題和解決方案。它包括術語的歷史，特別是它們在醫療保健中的使用，包括跨企業的臨床和研究數據聚合。

《Terminology, Ontology and their Implementations》涵蓋了本體和參考術語的基礎、創作和使用，包括安全使用它們所需的形式主義。編輯和他精心挑選的貢獻者團隊對基於概念的索引領域進行了全面的回顧，並為讀者提供了自然語言處理及其在健康術語中的應用的理解。該書討論了術語服務和術語伺服器的架構，因此成為所有健康資訊學學生的學習基礎。
