SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The exponential growth of unstructured data available in the biomedical literature and electronic health records requires powerful technologies and novel architectures. The success of smart healthcare applications in clinical decision support, disease diagnosis, and healthcare management depends on knowledge representation that is interpretable by machines in order to infer new knowledge from. To this end, ontological data models are expected to play a pivotal role in organizing, integrating, and representing knowledge machines can understand and act upon. Unfortunately, constructing such models using non-automated means can be prohibitively time-consuming for both domain experts and ontology engineers, thereby limiting the scale and/or the scope of the required ontological models.
