Abstract
The Hepatobiliary System is one of the important systems in the human body. This system has the ability to regulate the other systems. It may be affected by many pathologic conditions, which affect other organs negatively. Additionally, it plays an important role in many body functions like protein production. In this paper, we exploited the existed Ontologies in the medical domain to build a new Hepatobiliary System Diseases (HSD) Ontology. The Ontology has been built by using the BioPortal system to find the correct candidate Ontologies. This Ontology was developed in pathology domain and represented in the Web Ontology Language (OWL) that has recently become the standard language for the semantic web. The HSD Ontology development methodology includes five phases: HSD Query Extraction phase, Ontology Selection phase, Ontology Mapping and Partitioning phase, Adding Knowledge phase, and Ontology Merging and Validation phase. By developing the HSD Ontology in pathology domain, both intelligent systems and physicians can share, reason, and exploit this knowledge in different ways.
