Abstract:
A system for semantic images browsing and navigation for visualizing and learning of human anatomy comprises an information database (13) with records of medical knowledge bases; a first display interface (11) which allows user to manipulate an ontology for requested concepts on subject of interest, wherein the concepts and its knowledge bases in the information database (13) having tags which are harmonized and synchronized; and a base server (15) connected to the information database (13) and first display interface (11). The system (10) further comprises a graphical database (14) containing three-dimensional images of human anatomy; a second display interface (12) which allows user to manipulate images of subject of interest, wherein the images having tags which are harmonized and synchronized; and a graphic engine (16) connected to the graphical database (14) and second display interface (12), the graphic engine (16) is linked to the base server (15) for fetching the corresponding concept or image upon user requests.
Abstract:
A method (100) and system (200) for ontology navigation and visualization, the system (200) comprises an ontology navigator (202). The ontology navigator (202) comprises means for graphically displaying a plurality of concepts (102) of at least one ontology knowledge base (206), receiving a user query of at least one concept from the plurality of concepts (104), identifying a visualization application (204) for visualizing the at least one concept (106), generating an information set (108) of the at least one concept recognized by the visualization application (204), and forwarding the information set (110) of the at least one concept to the visualization application (204).
