Abstract

The web contains huge volume of information related to complementary and alternative medicine. However, healthcare recommendation with medicinal plants has become complicated because precious information about medicinal resources are available now. Moreover, the existing scientific search engines are not quite efficient and require excessive manual processing. As a result, the search for accurate and reliable data about herbal plants has become a highly difficult and time-consuming task for scientists. Till date, a wide mapping of the already available data concerning herbal plants hasn’t been carried out. In this regard, the complementary and alternative medicine collection tracking system (Hirbalink) introduced in this work was created for the purpose of organizing and storing related data.
