Abstract:
For handling the complex ophthalmic knowledge concerning surgical cataract interventions at human eyes knowledge domains are modeled as ontologies to guarantee a consistent knowledge at each moment. The different ophthalmic knowledge domains are developed with special wiki models (Semantic Wiki KnowWe). Based on the concepts and the relations between these concepts, the knowledge is represented by a semantic network. For user specific comfortable handling of the information, different visualization methods are designed, realized and compared. The visualization aims to satisfy the needs of ophthalmic experts (clinical surgeons) as well the knowledge engineers. So, different approaches of visualization are shown and evaluated by the clinical partners of the project.
