Abstract

In the last years, a number of semantic biomedical systems have been developed. However, their query interfaces are not easy to use for biomedical researchers since they require expertise in semantic languages. Consequently, its practical usage is limited. In this paper, we address this issue by moving the complexity in the design of the semantic query from knowing such query languages to exploring the domain ontology. We also report how this system has been applied to query a semantic repository of clinical archetypes.
