Abstract
This article is based on medical knowledge produced thought collaborative problem solving by a group of experts, in the field of medical diagnosis. In this work, we propose a representation format for a medical case base into a traditional RDBMS representation, which is queryable using standard SQL. We are concerned in difficult medical cases which imply a solution in several steps with several expert solvers (medical specialists). Some queries on this case base are proposed. A case base was implemented and validated in real time with experts on the real scenarios.
