The biomedical knowledge fields are a boundless ocean, involving all levels and all aspects
of the physical world and all levels and all aspects of the mental world. Are all those data, information,
knowledge in biomedical fields only piled up together? If not, what are the relationships, connections,
conversions, evolutions among them? And what reasons make them happen?
The exploration of The Theory of BioMedical Knowledge Integration (BMKI) is trying to find the answers.
As the Semantic programs of Medical Informatics at the different levels such as data(EMR, etc),
terminology(SNOMED, ICD, etc), event(HL7, etc) , semantic network or ontology(UMLS, GALEN, FMA, etc)
and Semantic Web and so on are quickly developing,perhaps nowadays in biomedical fields, to find the
answers for the following questions might be very important:
How much we know the nature of knowledge?
How a variety of the heterogeneous biomedical knowledge are related to
or transferred into mutually?
What the logic and mathematics are in the sense of biomedicine?
How serious the clinical knowledge crisis is today?
How efficiently the medical knowledge engineering can do?
What great promises EMR, etc will present for medicines?
How beautiful the new Info-Medicine which is coming to us will be? etc
The
Theory of BioMedical Knowledge Integration(MBKI) attempts to mine the
deepest theoretic rocks of Knowledge Engineering; to discover the laws
of the mutual relations, conversions, connections, evolutions and
linkages, etc among various heterogeneous concepts. For this splendid
cause, BMKI spares no effort to try to clarify the natures of knowledge
actions of human, cognitive processes, artificial intelligence, the new
type of logic and mathematics determined by biologic organisms (e.g.
Physico-mathematics) , etc.
Having
experienced and pursued so much elaborately thinking, explorations as
long as 20 years, BMKI has achieved a series of important results, and
made the prototype of her earliest stage. The first book (in Chinese)
to describe, systemize and introduce those results, and present many
new analyses and conculsions as well, is under way and will come out
soon.

THE BRIEF INTRODUCTION: The
earlier researches of BMKI had been focused on the Integratable
Relationized Medical Electronic Book(IRMEB), that is a ten-relationship
meta-medicine program£¬based on ten generalized relationships or verbs
: (pan) creating (-CREAT-), (pan) increasing (-INCRS-), (pan)
decreasing (-DECRS-), (pan) containing (-CONTN-), (pan) passageway
(-PASTO-), (pan) accompanying (-COMPN-), (pan) transforming (-TRANS-),
(pan) equating (-EQUAL-), (pan) ordering (-PORDR-), (pan) irrelating
(-PNULL-), in order to enhance the operational ability of medical
knowledge, e.g. the auto-guided reading function, which IREMB could
implement 100 steps.
Considering
that the most of medical knowledge units are conditional propositions,
and also because of lacking of awareness of W3C's works at that time,
the basic model of IREMB are quadruples:
subject(set)-predicate.or.relation(set)-object(set)-condition(set),
rather than triples, like Resource Description Framework(RDF).
The program included also the language
development to realize that test. But it is to be very much regretted
that the site of IREMB no longer exists after lasting about 4 years in
INTERNET because of the another full occupation of the author. |
