Ontology-based search for risk-relevant PMS data

Abstract

We report on a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Funding: 01IS15056D; project duration: Jan 2016–Dec 2017). The project focused on ontology based post market surveillance for risk analysis of medical devices. As a general result of the project, ontologies turned out to be a well-founded means for multiple purposes as e.g. searching, alerting, or to control crawling processes.
