Ontology development for health care in India

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the need and development of Ontologies. We also show the creation of an Ontology in Health Domain. In a developing country like India, due to mass population and scarcity of services, health care has taken a back. People often restore to the Internet for gathering information regarding a particular diseases or a health care service. They often do not find the information of their choice as the data is often available in a scattered form. Our Ontology can be used to extract such information in a more effective and efficient manner.
