Abstract

Antibiotic abuse has potentially serious effects on health. Rational use of antibiotics has become a basic principle in medical practice. In this paper we propose a semantic approach for rational use of antibiotics, by introducing the semantic technology into the monitoring on the use of antibiotic agents. In particular, we investigate the problem from the perspective of clinical research. The proposed approach has been implemented in a prototype system named SeSRUA, a Semantically-enabled System for Rational Use of Antibiotics. This semantic system with the support of data interoperability provides a basic infrastructure for the intelligent monitoring on the use of antibiotics.
