title: Cognitive design for sharing medical knowledge models.
abstract: By building a medical conceptual model inside the galen project, a methodology has been defined to deal with both operative goals and deep and unsolved problems about knowledge. This knowledge sharing oriented approach exploits existing medical coding systems such as knowledge sources and enables us to represent their concepts in a wider cognitive context referring to ontological theories. The tasks of cognitive ergonomy, quasi-naturalness of language, versatility, and flexibility seem to be supported through some functions, such as viewpoint, context, and sign, which act as spin-off points to knowledge or information which is not modeled.
