Building and using a medical ontology for knowledge management and cooperative work in a health care network

In the context of a health care network, we describe our method for reconstitution of a medical ontology via the translation of a medical database (DB) towards RDF(S) language. Then we show how we extended this ontology among others through natural language processing of a textual corpus. Then, we present the construction of a tool called "Virtual Staff", enabling a cooperative diagnosis by some of the health care network actors, by relying on this medical ontology and on the creation of SOAP and QOC graphs.
