title: Building knowledge: a system for batch loading biomedical terminologies.
abstract: Ontologies provide knowledge that supports health care applications. Biomedical ontologies must include a vast number of both standard and proprietary terminology concepts. Conventional loading methods are labor-intensive and inefficient. Thus, a system was developed to simultaneously load a large number of terminology concepts into a biomedical ontology. Such a robust ontology can support a variety of health care applications.
