Resumo: | The formulation of definitions for medical terms to be applied in ontology-based information systems is a fundamental activity for supporting continuing care, in cases in which a patient moves among different medical units. However, the practice of creating good definitions is not a trivial task, and the literature does not provide clear methodologies. This article aims to present a method to establish principles for systematizing the process of creating standardized definitions, which can be capable to provide the expected communication between the medical information systems and, therefore, to foster better services for citizens. The creation and testing of such method was conducted in the field of leukemias in the scope of the Blood Ontology project. The results show that definitions of biomedical entities are defined in a variety of criteria, which do not always meet the ontological representation requirements for adequate communication between medical information systems. Some well-known issues already identified are the identification of essential features of an entity, in addition to involve circularity, intangibility as well as the complexity in diagnosing manifold diseases such leukemias. We hope this experience can contribute to improvements in research projects in which Information Science supports Medicine and Healthcare with the aim of providing a better service to the citizen. |

Entretanto, a prática de criar boas definições não é uma tarefa trivial e a literatura não contempla metodologias para tal. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um método que estabelece princípios para sistematização do processo de criação de definições padronizadas, as quais possam para proporcionar a esperada comunicação entre sistema de informação médicos, e, portanto, melhor atendimento ao cidadão. A criação e teste do método foi conduzido no domínio das leucemias, no âmbito do projeto Blood Ontology. Os resultados mostram que definições de entidades biomédicas são definidas por uma variedade de critérios, que nem sempre atendem aos requisitos de representação ontológica para a adequada comunicação entre sistemas médicos. Problemas verificados dizem respeito a identificação de características essenciais de cada entidade e envolvem a circularidade, a intangibilidade e a complexidade em diagnosticar doenças complexas como leucemias. Espera-se que essa experiência possa contribuir para a melhorias nos projetos em que a Ciência da Informação apoia a medicina e os cuidados à saúde na busca por melhor atendimento ao cidadão.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2020-06-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/865708910.20396/rdbci.v18i0.8657089RDBCI: Digital Journal of Library and Information Science; Vol. 18 (2020): Continuous Publishing; e020015RDBCI: Revista Digital de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação; v. 18 (2020): Publicação Contínua; e0200151678-765Xreponame:Revista Brasileira de Direito Civil (Online)instname:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civil (IBDCivil)instacron:Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civilporenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8657089/22483https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8657089/22700https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/article/view/8657089/22578Brazil; Century XXIBrasil; Século XXICopyright (c) 2020 Amanda Damasceno de Souza, Maurício Barcellos Almeidahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Amanda Damasceno de Almeida, Maurício Barcellos2021-01-05T21:59:55Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8657089Revistahttps://rbdcivil.ibdcivil.org.br/rbdchttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rdbci/oai||rbdcivil@ibdcivil.org.br2358-69742358-6974opendoar:2021-01-05T21:59:55Revista Brasileira de Direito Civil (Online) - Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Civil (IBDCivil)false |
