Abstract

Interpretation of medical document requires descriptors to define semantically meaningful relations but due to the ever changing demands in healthcare environment such information sources can be highly dynamic. In these situations the most challenging problem is frequent ontology search keeping with user’s interest. To manage this problem efficiently the paper suggests an ontology model using context aware properties of the system to facilitate the search process and allow dynamic ontology modification. The proposed method has been evaluated on Cancer datasets collected from publicly accessible sites and the results confirm its superiority over well known semantic similarity measures.
