Owl Ontology for Liver Diseases Using Protégé & WEB-V-OWL

Science and health care systems are working hand in hand to cater and support each other in the current era. The liver is one of the important body parts that need to work appropriately for a human body. But sometimes the most hazardous reasons for liver problems are infections or diseases like Hepatitis because they remain for an extended time and direct to dangerous difficulties (liver swelling, liver cancer, etc.). Liver hepatitis contains a diversity of different types of viruses: hepatitis A, B, C, and D. This study presents the design and implementation of liver hepatitis ontology. Protege-Owl and WEB-V-OWL is used for implementing and its visualization. The proposed ontology is portable and can be edited for further addition of concepts in the future. Web ontology language is used to implement this proposed ontology. By developing the Hepatitis ontology, both Intelligent health care systems and physicians can share, reason, and exploit this knowledge in different ways.
