title: An ontology-based framework for guideline-driven medical practice.
abstract: This paper describes a general framework for clinical practice guidelines development, dissemination and use. We propose an ontological description of the medical knowledge and of the organizational context, in order to produce clinical guidelines which, on one hand, can be widely shared between different institutions and, on the other, can be efficiently tailored to consider the peculiarities of each clinical context.
