Abstract:
The paper is a description of information and software content of a computer knowledge bank on
medical diagnostics. The classes of its users and the tasks which they can solve are described. The information
content of the bank contains three ontologies: an ontology of observations in the field of medical diagnostics, an
ontology of knowledge base (diseases) in medical diagnostics and an ontology of case records, and also it
contains three classes of information resources for every division of medicine – observation bases, knowledge
bases, and data bases (with data about patients), that correspond to these ontologies. Software content consists
of editors for information of different kinds (ontologies, bases of observations, knowledge and data), and also of a
program which performs medical diagnostics.
