Ontology Engineering Application of Reasoning Services

This workshop session will present a detailed discussion based upon the reasoning services that have been developing using the public health reference ontology as the domain knowledgebase. This training workshop will discuss knowledge representation within a reasoning framework including the discussion of rule templates and advanced artificial intelligence techniques. In addition to the basis-reasoning platform, ontology knowledge representations, and reasoning techniques, the presentation will cover the analysis of three ontology-based reasoning services. Message Content Validation Reasoner, Case Classification, and BioSense Message Classification. Also presented in the training workshop will be the knowledge components and services that provide an extensible foundation for additional public health mission problems requiring automated decision support. The presentation will be based upon the underlying foundations of ontological representation as related to decision support, public health case detection and classification, and message validation. This session presents the use of enterprise knowledge services in support of the mission of public health. The objective of this workshop is to educate attendees with the technology, concepts, and uses of the public health ontology in automated reasoning systems. The goal of this workshop is to promote use and adoption of the public health reference ontology, ontology services, and reasoning frameworks based upon these services.. Each of the workshop sessions will provide an overview of the value propositions provided by this emerging ontology driven model paradigm to the community from a technical, public health domain and business perspective.
