A Methodology For Ontology Reuse: The Case Of The Abdominal Ultrasound Ontology

There is an abundance of existing biomedical ontologies such as the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus and the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms. Implementing these ontologies in a particular system however, may cause unnecessary high usage of memory and slows down the systems’ p...
