Using description logic to manage question corpora.
If clinical questions are to be used on a large scale as a practitioner interface to the medical knowledge base, improved methods must be developed for the semantic management of question corpora. In this project we investigate the use of description logic to manage question corpora. We propose the addition of a Q-box to a standard Description Logic knowledge base. The Q-box will contain concept descriptions that are not yet accepted as part of the T-box, but in effect represent questions about concepts already described in the T-box.
