Phase II-SOF Knowledge Coupler-Based Phase I XML Schema
Abstract
To analyze the Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook (SOFMH) content an initial text parser was built that placed text into a structured database using text source files. This database provided the original information to display to SOF medics or editors using the application. Several robust database applications were created to allow manipulation and display of medical knowledge over the complete SRMH content A web-enabled application is being completed to allow online updating and virtual collaboration of geographically separated authors and subject matter experts to meet the author and editorial review board requirements. This application is necessary to allow authors to build associations necessary to the formulation of the relationships integral to the relationships in the database. Author and subject matter expert input is required to maintain the suitability of the suggested treatment to the capabilities of the SOF medic over subsequent versions of the knowledge engine application. An image database was created to manage the 700+ images included in the CD-ROM version of the SOFMH. This database includes assignments of the College of American Pathologists' Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) codes to particular images. These images are contained in an online catalog as well as appearing on their original SOFMH CD-ROM topic page. The SNOMED-CT codes are used to establish relationships with topic content per the author/subject matter expert's recommendations.
