title: Instance testing of the family history ontology.
abstract: The Family History Ontology formalizes nursing conceptualization about family and family history. Traditional methods of instance testing were applied to evaluate the completeness of the ontology and demonstrated favorable domain coverage. Testing also revealed a need for a new category of instance test results, "by inference", for data that can be represented through the use of inference rules associated with the ontology rather than requiring direct manual entry.
